Whenver I have installed postgres (as the postgres user), it has always
installed everything owned by postgres:postgres. I've never installed
postgres as root, except for the Perl interfaces (which must be installed
by root). This was the recommended procedure in earlier version of
PostgreSQL, but it seems in the newer documentation, it recommends
*against* installing as the postgres super-user.
