its 8.4.3 ... I'm jumping sideways and trying a different attack on my
actual problem, which is building pl/java HEAD for 64bit solaris sparc
w/ 8.4.3 and JDK 1.5.0_23... rather than building the entire postgres
tree, I replicated the couple missing files from the 32bit version and
am 'fixing' their paths.
I'm hitting another problem with that, but I think I'll take it to the
pl/java list.
