If you, as a beta tester for Cold Fusion, can let me know what they're
looking for, then I can oblige them with no problem. :-)

I am going to have to make it easier for third party software to detect
the RPM installation -- while things have settled down on where things
are, I have been considering moving some things around -- in particular,
the location of PGDATA is likely to move in 7.0 RPM's unless I hear a
cry otherwise.  Currently, PGDATA is /var/lib/pgsql, I'm considering
changing that to /var/lib/pgsql/data, which is more in line with the
standard installation.  This gives me the whole /var/lib/pgsql tree for
backups and other temp data that I need to move out of /usr/lib/pgsql.

I am open to suggestions -- environment variables perhaps?

I am going to look at Olivers Debian packages more closely so that I can
use the same envvar names for consistency, if I do use envvars.
