I was able to get shp2pgsql to build by editing the top of loader/Makefile

#include ../Makefile.config
USE_ICONV=1
USE_VERSION=74


Like so. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it built ok and and 
issues the Usage message. This may be good enough for now, otherwise, 
I'll download postgres also and do it that way.
