ok, last question: is there an option for configure to not check for DocBook? It's not installed and PostgreSQL doesn't need it to compile and run just fine.

As I said, it's not an annoyance or something as I only need to build new binaries after the versions (major and minor) are released, which is not often enough to call it an annoyance. :-) I just would like to switch it off if possible, but it's ok if it's not.

Cheers,
Paul
