Existing versions of DBD::Pg aren't suddenly going to get broken ;-)
The README for DBD::Pg 1.13 says 6.5 is the minimum required version,
which I believe was the last major release before 7.0. So anyone
using < 6.5 is out of the DBD::Pg upgrade cycle anyway. A README-
note along the lines of "PostgreSQL 6.5.x users: you need DBD::Pg 1.13"
should suffice.
