I just did that:

--- postgresql-8.0.1-old/src/interfaces/libpq/Makefile 2005-01-26 20:24:19.000000000 +0100
+++ postgresql-8.0.1/src/interfaces/libpq/Makefile 2005-02-07 20:09:38.719686432 +0100
@@ -16,8 +16,8 @@

# shared library parameters
NAME= pq
-SO_MAJOR_VERSION= 3
-SO_MINOR_VERSION= 2
+SO_MAJOR_VERSION= 4
+SO_MINOR_VERSION= 0
DLTYPE= library

override CPPFLAGS := -DFRONTEND -I$(srcdir) $(CPPFLAGS) -I$(top_builddir)/src/port

Is that right? Or will you use SO_MINOR_VERSION=1?

However, I just stumbled across another problem: libpq3 and the new
libpq4 use the same translation domain "libpq4", thus they cannot be
installed in parallel. Can you please change the domain to "libpq4" as
well? This should generally be done anyway, but at least we can live
with one breakage of this rule (for libpq3), so that we don't need to
mess with the old libpq3 package.

Thanks,

Martin
