Thanks for the input.
I guess I have a lot of work ahead if I want to switch from postgresql
7.x -> 8.x versions.
I got 8.x to compile.. build.. and package...
Only problem I have is :

when I try to install the new packages I created.

I was kind of hoping there was a trick to be able to get the new
packages built for this dependency and still keep the system up and
running the current postgresql server.  But, I guess I'm living a dream.
