If you say "x or newer" then that will be true forever unless they take 
it back out.  We should also try to figure out a way for people to find 
out how their python was compiled rather than making them compile a new 
one.

I would prefer to put more effort into giving people a procedure to 
follow during PostgreSQL installation to verify the correct setup of 
their system, rather than giving them a bunch of options to "try" when 
they have unidentified "problems".
