I'm attempting to build it as something that can be used in several
places. Where there's most need for it is as an install time option
in installers, particularly on Windows.
There's no reason the same underlying code couldn't also go into
pgAdmin, of course. At the moment the code is a bit Qt specific,
reducing that is part of the cleanup.
