>Description:
The post-install target sets up a "${HOME}/.profile" script for the pgsql user.
When emitting its ${PATH} and ${MANPATH} assignment lines (which append an
additional element to the respective pre-set path), these variables are
expanded as set in the current execution environment.  This probably isn't what
the target's implementor had in mind.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install the databases/postgresql package.  Examine "${PREFIX}/pgsql/.profile"
afterwards.

>Fix:
(If this PR is applicable, the fix should be obvious.)
