`jhbuild build pgsql`

It has one dependency, openssl, that’s a real pain it the neck (and a few other places). Let it configure and hit control-C when it starts to build, then run `make && make install_sw`. Control-D to quit the shell, tell it 2 continue to install. Control-C again immediately when it starts to install and select 2 continue to next module. Postgresql will build on its own. When it’s done you can rebuild libdbi and libdbd.
