Hey,

So I am looking intently on what it is going to take to get the URI
patch done for psql [1] and was digging around the web and have a URI
parser library. It is under the New BSD license and is strictly RFC RFC
3986 [2] compliant .

Now I have not dug into the code but the parser is used by other
projects. So question is:

Assuming the code actually makes this patch easier, do we:

A. Pull in the code into the main tree
B. Instead have it as a requirement via configure?

Sincerely,
