Cleanup ports. Better handling of the knob PG_USER.
Also add uuid to 9.0 and 9.1 contrib ports.
only postgresql90-server does, but since we don't want two different pg_config setups,
one for client and one for server, I'm bringing the libxml dependency on board until
I can find out a better way to solve this.
Also, try to break the previous 1:1 relation between FreeBSD system and
PostgreSQL versions installed. Use different PREFIX:es to install
different versions on the same system.
