It is.  It is even on the new Yggdrasil CD, precombiled.

However, I keep crashing it, when I access the same database from two
VC's or xterms at the same time.

I am a lazy person, and I am not multitasking.  To chase something,
which happens in the shared memory, which is accessed by two backends
and one postmaster at the same time is not what I like.

I will start another try soon, this time by compiling the baby without
optimizer options.
