I just installed sfio here and built PostgreSQL with it and didn't see any
difference. Which is not surprising because libsfio doesn't define any
symbols that PostgreSQL uses. (It's a completely separate interface, all
the functions are named sf*.) What you'd really need to use is libstdio
(plus libsfio), which is a wrapper. So I removed the check in configure
because it obviously had a net negative benefit.
Those who want to use it can still add '-lstdio -lsfio' to LIBS.
