This is not so much of an issue with DBD::Pg - it already uses quite a
bit of C code[1]. not only from libpq, but because DBI is written in C, and
because it is handy sometimes to use non-libpq pgsql code, such as some
of the quoting stuff. Having libpq is definitely a bonus for us (DBD::Pg),
and we've never really had an issue with libpq until now, and it's getting
fixed, so no worries.

[1] Well, C and pseudo-C XS code anyway.
