TBH, I wonder why you are doing that in the first place; it does not
seem like the most reliable source of version information. If you
need to do compile-time tests, PG_CATALOG_VERSION is considered the
best thing to look at, or VERSION_NUM in Makefiles.

However, if you're dead set on getting a version number out of a string
representation, you'll need to make changes similar to commit
69dc5ae408f68c302029a6b43912a2cc16b1256c.
