Well, I checked the output of that command and it didn't look right, so I
removed all postgres directories (everything except the postgres cluster) in
/usr/local/pgsql and deleted the old postgresql install directory, extracted
the tarball again, re-configured postgres, and tried again.  This time, I
got what I was expecting from pg_config:

$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --configure
'--with-python' '--with-perl' '--enable-thread-safety'
'--prefix=/usr/local/pgsql'

However, even after doing the above and
adding --with-pgconfigdir=/usr/local/pgsql/bin, Slony refuses to configure.
 It still comes back saying configure: error: PQisthreadsafe test failed -
PostgreSQL needs to be compiled with --enable-thread-safety
