I really love the "info" help system (don't know its name; "info emacs" on cmd line if it's installed calls it up; filenames are "texinfo-info*" for example); anyone know if info files are available anywhere for pgsql? I looked at what gentoo's "emerge" installed and don't see anything...

I don't think so. However, most of the documentation is in SGML format
and you should be able to convert that to info format...
Hope this helps,

I was able to build one by adding some targets to
doc/src/sgml/Makefile using <http://docbook2x.sf.net/>:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
postgres.txml: postgres.xml
db2x_xsltproc -s texi postgres.xml -o postgres.txml
postgres.texi: postgres.txml
db2x_texixml --encoding=iso-8859-1//TRANSLIT postgres.txml --to-stdout | \
sed -e 's/^(at)setfilename(dot)*/@setfilename postgres.info/' \
-e '/^(at)direntry/,/^(at)end direntry/{\
s/([^)]\+/(postgres.info/\
}' \
> postgres.texi
postgres.info: postgres.texi
makeinfo --no-validate postgres.texi -o postgres.info
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, the resulting info documentation is still lacking an index,
which doesn't make it as usable at it could be :-/.
regards,
Andreas
