I've committed this patch, but there was one aspect that remains
unfinished. I had hoped to remove the duplicative parts of ecpg's dt.h
header in favor of including datatype/timestamp.h, along the lines of
the attached patch. However, while ecpg itself compiles with that
change, its test programs do not; apparently they include
pgtypes_timestamp.h without previously including anything that defines
typedef int32. I'm unsure if there's a reasonable way to work around
that --- any thoughts?

regards, tom lane
