If you use MacPorts it's just "install those packages", and I imagine the same for Homebrew. I've not tried build-from-source on modern platforms. One thing I think we lack data on is whether we're going to need a policy similar to everyone-must-use-exactly-this-autoconf-version. If we do, that will greatly raise the importance of building from source. regards, tom lane
