Small heads up for Postgres users:
I've now succesfully compiled pike 7.8 explicitly --without-postgres yet all existing applications can access Postgres databases just fine (pgsql automatically takes over the postgres:// url if libpq is excluded from the build). I'm running this in a production environment now, no ill effects so far.
Obviously, pike --features doesn't list Postgres anymore in this case, but that doesn't mean that it can't access Postgres databases anymore (is this confusing?).

Yes, it's confusing. Please fix.
Fixed.
