OK. One thought I had - XRCed doesn't do a great job as we already
know. If you're going to review the dialogues to this level, please
consider other tools such as DialogBlocks - they may do a far better
job of automating the process, and have a distinct style in the way
they handle layout (preferring one sizer type over another for
example). Let's take the opportunity to review the tools and pick
something that will make this nice and easy in the future.
Oh, and just so you know, some of the tools out there are not Open
Source. pgAdmin is not a political project, and I wouldn't want us to
discount something that may be a great tool purely because it's not
OSS. Obviously if it costs money, then that is an issue.

Incremental patching is fine. It's easier for everyone in the long run.
