Summary: Cannot connect to postgresql-7.4betaX databases

Initial Comment:
(Received through the Debian BTS as #219862.) 
 
The PostgreSQL version string that is reported by 
postgresql-7.4beta5 (and all other betas) cannot be parsed by 
the pypgsql code. The problem is that the 'beta' in the version 
number confuses the parser in pgversion.c (in particular lines 
277 and on, in the function PgVersion_New) which creates a 
PgVersion object from the string that the server reports.  The 
function errors out and the connection fails.  
 
Thanks!
