Well, technically you could run 'make' (building the binaries) and
manually get that binary to wherever pg_ctl is looking...if you were
feeling really dirty you could use a symlink.  it's not clear how much
time you'd really be saving however -- the install step of make
doesn't really take all that long.  Also, there's no way to deploy
changes without restarting the server except in the very special case
of libraries loaded with LOAD.
