Call "pg_config --version" and break it into pieces. To make life
easier, meld them back together into a single string with something
like this:

my $serverversion = sprintf("%d%.02d%.02d", $major_ver, $minor_ver, $patch);

Then you can do things like
if ($serverversion >= 80000) ...

and can similarly pass the above to cc via a -D and get some ifdef fun...
