* pg_tapgen should not be distributed with pg_prove.

* pg_prove is dependent only on the Tap::Parser module from the CPAN. It does 
not care what version of pgTAP you have installed. I might end up moving 
pg_prove itself to CPAN.

* pgTAP itself compiles against a specific version of PostgreSQL, but in 8.4 
and later there is (currently) no C compiling required. So it could be used 
unmodified in 8.4.0+. 8.3 and down require the compilation of a C library, so 
that would be version-specific.

HTH,

David
