What we'll probably need is a note from teo to HACKERS, letting the CVS
commiters know who is 'approved' to bless pgaccess patches: i.e. their
patches should be commited, and they can bless third party patches.

Works fine. Only tricky part would be providing the windows binary bits
(dlls) that have traditionally resided on teo's site.

If you check the archives, when I submitted that patch, I had the
forsight to ask if anyone could come up with a better name, forseeing
the collison that is happening today: no one came up with anything.
I agree it needs renaming. How about one of 'Charting', 'Graphing',
'Diagrams', 'Graphics', 'PrettyPictures', 'BossBait' ...
