I think that psql once required these. It probably does not anymore
(except indirectly via readline). There's certainly no reason to be
linking them into the backend. Try yanking 'em and see what happens.

On HPUX, at least, it would be real nice not to include libcurses;
some genius thought it would be OK to define a function named
select() in libcurses ...
