The locations shown below should really be ripped out.  At one time pg_config did not work correctly on Macs with either Fink or MacPorts, I don't recall which, and I added them, but they are no longer needed, on Macs at least.  Both Fink and MacPorts correctly install pg_config now.

If nobody objects, I'll remove them.
