Yeah, well, I've thought that too... ;-)

Hm.. So why not compile to versions of postgres, and combine the two
into one library? It's a bit hacky, but I guess it'd work for all libs
that pgadmin needs, and you don't have to got fix all libs...

Hm.. depends.. If the universal binary references a universal library,
in the same way that a ppc binary references a ppc lib, then it should
be easy...

If, on the other hand, you get two references, one for the ppc-part
referencing the ppc-part of the lib, and the same for the i386 parts,
then fixing complete-bundle.sh will be hard
