So maybe "... you are working with plain
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> without any additional
infrastructure, for example a copy that you built from source
according to the directions in the preceding chapters." ?

Do you have a feeling one way or the other about whether to repeat
some of this text in each of the relevant sub-sections?  I initially
didn't want to do that, but thinking about how people consume the
HTML docs, I'm afraid that anything not appearing on the same page
won't get seen.
