Thank you for giving us an excellent JDBC driver. I've been learning
PostgreSQL JDBC driver and PostgreSQL internals these days. Please let me
add some items.

1. Better JDBC4 support
I'd like the driver to support more JDBC4 features, regardless of whether
they are actually useful. Just lack of support could lead to underevaluation
when compared to other databases such as Oracle and HSQLDB (IIRC, HSQLDB
provides better JDBC4 support). I love PostgreSQL and don't want my
colleagues to underevaluate PostgreSQL.

2. Ability to run regression tests against the driver located in an
arbitorary place
The current regression test builds the driver and uses it. I want to run the
regression test against an installed driver like "make installcheck" of
PostgreSQL. With that feature, I can make sure that the installation media
contains a correct driver and we performed packaging procedure with no
problem.
