Summary: Fix for Fedora linux with patched PostgreSQL pacakages

Initial Comment:
Fedora Linux Core 1 has a patched version of PostgreSQL
that reports it's version as 7.3.4-RH which causes the
version checking procedure to die and report that we're
not connecting to a valid database.  This fixes that
and makes it so versions that end in "-RH" are
recognized as valid versions, allowing pyPgSQL to work
under Fedora Core 1 (and I'd imagine anyplace else with
the RedHat database).

The following is an alternative solution. Either is needed
for RedHat ES as well as Fedora.

The submitted version seems to trim out "-RH" wherever it
occurs. This variation is to allow -<anything> after the
patch # in the version string.

A "real" fix for this would be to have newer postgres
support version_major() etc functions rather than having to
parse strings whose definitions aren't guarenteed.
