According to this discussion, support for them was removed back in
No one complained here until January 2024, so the assumption is that they were not much used.
More to the point, as of 8167e40, the Postgres and MySQL server dependencies were replaced with client-only dependencies, reducing the need to prevent their installation. People still might want to build with their own libpq or mysql client libraries, but they just need to be sure they're found in their search paths (including library and include) ahead of the Homebrew paths. In any event, since 8167e40 there have been no more servers fired up (one hopes).
If it turns out people really do need a way to prevent the driver and client dependencies from being installed, we can add our own --without options. But as of right now, it doesn't seem necessary.
Resolves #62.
While at it, switch to fenced code blocks in the README.
