As an Interbase/Firebird user, I'm confused by this. 

There is a replication solution, but AFAIK, it's commercial - not Open 
Source.

This is true - if PostgreSQL got its install/setup as easy as for IB/FB, 
they would really start to go places!

There is a dll version available for single user apps - which makes 
installation very nice (on Windows).

I thought that there was a commerical Replicator that has gone Open 
Source? Is there more than one project for PG?

What would constitute a "show stopper" for you?
