I think this is a reasonable feature, and the implementation is OK, but
I don't see why the format of the extra version information needs to be
exactly

PG_VERSION="$PACKAGE_VERSION ($withval)"

I'd imagine, for example, that someone will want to do -something or
+something. So I'd just make this

PG_VERSION="$PACKAGE_VERSION$withval"

Comments?

This could be indented better. It was a bit confusing at first.
