1. On NetBSD, had to add -Wl, -R/usr/local/postgres/lib to the src/Makefile.global LIB variable

   Priority: probably low.
   
   Background:
     
     uname -a:
       NetBSD scotts 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (GENERIC) #1: Sun Nov 19 21:42:11 MET 2000
         fvdl@sushi:/work/trees/netbsd-1-5/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
   
     Postgresql version: 7.0.3
   
     To configure I did a `./configure --prefix=/usr/local/postgres'.
     This is straight "out-of-the-box", so I didn't apply any of the
     NetBSD pkgsrc patches.
   
   My problem & fix:
   
     I had to add -Wl,-R/usr/local/postgres/lib to the
     src/Makefile.global LIB variable.  Otherwise, doing a
     'ldd /usr/local/postgres/bin/psql' after installation
     reported that it couldn't find libpg (`-lpq.2 => Not Found'
     or something like that).
   
   Remarks:
   
     There's almost certainly a better way, since src/Makefile.global is
     automatically generated, but I'm still getting acclimated to NetBSD
     and Postgres build.

   In the past we have suggested to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
   appropriately.  Version 7.1 fixes this by using the option you mention.
