That's what I ended up doing. I also modified the copy a bit to
reactivate the PQconnectStart bindings for asynchronouse connections and
removed the version specific stuff because that wouldn't work with
PQconnectStart and we won't need the compatibility code.

That's not much of a problem. The project I need it for is pretty much
tied to PostgreSQL anyway because we're using the PostGIS extensions.

Thanks for your reply,
