Incidentally, one other nice thing here about killing off the Release
from the spec file: these targets would actually use different releases,
without modifying the spec.  For a local-build, it would look at the
current version of the package installed on your system, and suffix it
with .0.local.N (or increment N if you already have a local version
installed).  That way the package installs without any warnings from RPM
or --force flags, etc.  When you do a real 'make build', it would use
the central postgres database to get a new build version.  This would be
newer than the .0.local.N versions, so you transparently get the "real"
version from the central build server when it comes through.
