I'll take a look at it -- it seems to be a nice interface.

We currently have a similar problem with pgaccess, as its version
nnumbers are not in sync with the main release.  We simply ignore that
difference -- but, pgaccess is a part of the core tarball.

I am open to suggestions -- I could make a 'postgresql-pgbash21-7.0'
series..... Kindof hokey name, though, IYKWIM.
