It seems to me that one of the routes to "more installs" would be for
there to be similar support in cPanel for PostgreSQL as there is at
present for MySQL(tm).

There's some support; my present hosting provider has some PostgreSQL
icons here and there; alas, it's dysfunctional :-(.  (Possibly a
pg_hba.conf problem; I haven't access, so I can't infer...)

OTOH, I can run initdb, so could build what I need :-).
