We note the following in the docs for 2.5

======
PostgreSQL:
A PostgreSQL database driver is included as part of the Revolution 
installation on Windows systems.

To download an appropriate PostgreSQL driver for OS X or Unix systems, 
visit the PostgreSQL web site at <http://www.postgresql.com>.
=====

Or possibly, it is open source and Mac that wins, meaning Rev doesn't 
have to do anything special to make it work, so they prefer you to get 
the

But not a big deal... just a bit lean for the untutored. Possibly a one 
line addition:

"After downloading the driver you should put it  <where ? />.  That's 
all you need to do. OR
After that you will need to initialize the driver  by <doing what? />

=======
Note we do see

"libmySQL.dll"

in the top level of the revolution folder in the  OSX distribution. Do 
.dll files apply to the OSX context? I always thought they were Windows 
files?
