yeah -- you would have to enable that via configure. pulling in
libptypes just to pass bytea is probably overkill though considering
it can be done in stock libpq w/o too much effort. To justify it, you
would want to be leveraging some of the other library features
(especially, array/composite passing, for which there is no reasonable
method via stock libpq).
