It depends on what it was designed for :-) My guess is that currently
there is only something like `-R/usr/local/pgsql' in linking, but not for
locations of other libraries: libz, libssl, libcrypto, etc.

I guess that Martin's case of running postgress as `secure application' is
something unusual, but there is more usual case: if you run apache as root
(to be able to bind it to port 80) and then use from perl libpq (compiled
with ssl) you will definitely have a trouble -- ssl will not be found.
