Just to add in another point on this- I've actually discussed this with
the Release Team and they don't see it being possible either due to the
issue of having to recompile tons of things which depend on PostgreSQL
libraries.  Frustrating, but there it is.  If there's actually some
showstopper problem in 7.4 (I don't know of any...) it's possible we
could hack up something like what was done for OpenLDAP- put the new
server in but leave the old libraries there too.  Very ugly though.
