-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 It would be helpful if upon installing the postgresql91 port, the
 following directory was added to the $PATH environment variable:

 /opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin

 and if the same directory was removed from the $PATH environment variable
 upon uninstalling the same port.

 This would be helpful for the following reason: it would allow the "pg"
 Ruby gem to be installed simply by specifying it in a Gemfile and then
 running "bundle install", because it would make pg_config visible on the
 $PATH.

 Quite a lot of people seem to encounter this problem.
