Pongracz,

I run Gentoo ~x86, and the packaged postgresql-8.2 includes tsearch by
default:

# emerge postgresql -pv
[ebuild   R   ] dev-db/postgresql-8.2.4-r1  USE="nls pam perl python readline ssl xml zlib -doc -kerberos -pg-intdatetime (-selinux) -tcl -test" 0 kB 

# equery files postgresql | grep tsearch
/usr/lib/postgresql/tsearch2.so
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.2.4-r1/contrib/README.tsearch2
/usr/share/postgresql/contrib/tsearch2.sql
/usr/share/postgresql/contrib/uninstall_tsearch2.sql

All perl dependencies can be satisfied via portage packages and g-cpan for
the others.

A gentoo ebuild with a --configure db setup and webapp-config apache setup
logic would be useful, I agree. I haven't chased that to completion myself
because I run from an SVN checkout of branches/1.2. That, and I don't have
the first clue how to utilize the webapp-config API.
