PHP - Postgres large object functions

Adam, FYI, according to Rasmus Lerdorf, your patches have been
committed. From the changelog:

2001-01-18 Derick Rethans <d(dot)rethans(at)jdimedia(dot)nl> <mailto:d(dot)rethans(at)jdimedia(dot)nl>

* ext/pgsql/pgsql.c
ext/pgsql/php_pgsql.h:
- Added the pg_lolseek function, which allows for arbitrary seeking within
a large object, and the pg_lotell call, which can be used to find the
current file offset for a large object (Submitted by: Adam Haberlach
<adam(at)newsnipple(dot)com> <mailto:adam(at)newsnipple(dot)com>).
- Added the pg_lolseek and pg_lotell functions

Regards,
Ned

I sent them patches against the at-the-time up-to-date CVS tree back
when this first came up, they said that they failed, so I sent them another
set, and have not heard back from them. It doesn't seem to show up in the
cvs logs.

I'll bug someone again and see if I can find out what happened. I mean,
they only have 240 people with write access to the cvs tree...
