Summary: Postgres 8.0beta invalid format for PgVersion

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to test the latest Postgres beta on windows
(8.0beta), and I am unable to connect because I get the
error:

"libpq.DatabaseError: Ivalid format for PgVersion
construction."

The string is:
select version();
"PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta2 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by
GCC gcc.exe (GCC) 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)"

I'm guessing libpq is unhappy about the "0beta2" part.

In pgversion.c, function parseToken
I see that it is okay with the form
PostgreSQL 8.0.0b1
But not the string "beta1".

Is it possible to get it adjusted to compare for "beta"
and possibly "alpha" as well?

Perhaps it is non-standard for the PostgreSQL people to
use "beta" instead of just "b", so I should tell them
to change.:)

If PgSQL is changed, can someone compile the Win32
installer for me? I only have MSVisual Studio 7.1, and
python says you need 6 to compile extensions. I tried
forcing it, but it still didn't work.

Thanks for the help,
John
