We had all this working under 2.0 and then it just seemed to kind of die
due to lack of interest.  I can't even find the postgres port that was sitting
in the incoming directory on freefall.cdrom.com; I must have cleaned it out
the last time I went on a witch-hunt for space.. :-(

If anyone is truly interested in reviving ingres and/or postgres for
the ports/databases directory, I'd be happy to help out in any way I can..
