Re: printTable API (was: Show INHERIT in \du)

Hi guys,

Here's the latest version of the printTable API. This version is
against the current HEAD and merges in the changes made by the
recently committed psql wrap patch.

This version also includes Alvaro's fix for the issue of pg_strdup not
being available to programs in scripts/ (as quoted below).

Clean compile and all regression tests passed on amd64 gentoo.

Cheers,
BJ
