new version of postgresql port

[Palle Girgensohn]

Hi,

True, it is a first shot at breaking the 1:1 relationship, it is not a 
solution. I think that if you install all PostgreSQL:s in different 
PREFIXes, it will work to install them.

As you say, they should opimtally install in their own non-conflicting 
places without changing prefix.

Lets see this as a work in progress.

Cheers,
Palle
