get postgresql.src.tar.gz
get postgresql.docs.tar.gz

instead of just

get postgresql.tar.gz

for those that want to download the docs, same amount of time ... for
those that don't want it, it sames them 2meg of download time ...

I'm curious as to how many ppl would actually download those docs ... I
know that I'd never do so, as I'm never on the same machine that the
server is running from, so just hit the web site ...

so, for those that do, we are giving them one extra step, and for those
that don't, saving them time and bandwidth ...
