I think the consensus we were headed towards was wrong, or at least
not completely hashed out. IMO, the correct solution to this class of
problem is a generic library initialization routine (PQinit) that can
handle things of this nature without breaking the ABI down the line.
This solution felt controversial, and I definitely don't want to hold
up 8.4 trying to get it right.
So, my vote is to document the issue for 8.4, and hopefully come up
with something better for 8.5.
