OK, I've done this.  A patch is below, against 7.3.1 source.  I've
sent it here instead of to the -patches list, since:

o here is where the discussion was

o so far I've only tested with the HP ANSI C compiler on 11.11, not with gcc or on other HP-UX releases.
 I can test other releases and probably with gcc, but if someone gets to it before me that would be just fine.  I
probablywon't until the new year.
 

Checking the 32 bit install:

$ ls -l libpq*
-rw-r--r--   1 root  users  158556 Dec 22 21:22 libpq.a
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  users      10 Dec 22 21:22 libpq.sl@ -> libpq.sl.3
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  users  143360 Dec 22 21:22 libpq.sl.3*

$ /usr/ccs/bin/ldd psql       /usr/lib/libm.2 =>      /usr/lib/libm.2       /usr/lib/libnsl.1 =>    /usr/lib/libnsl.1
   /usr/lib/libxti.2 =>    /usr/lib/libxti.2       /usr/lib/libdld.2 =>    /usr/lib/libdld.2       /usr/lib/libc.2 =>
  /usr/lib/libc.2       /usr/lib/libdld.2 =>    /usr/lib/libdld.2       /usr/lib/libgen.2 =>    /usr/lib/libgen.2
/usr/lib/libc.2=>      /usr/lib/libc.2       ../../../src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.sl.3 =>
/opt/pgsql-7.3.1/lib/libpq.sl.3      /usr/lib/libnsl.1 =>    /usr/lib/libnsl.1
 

There's still that "../../../src/.." in the output, but the library
has been found correctly with the version number, which is what is
most important.

I ran configure with a --prefix=/opt/pgsql-7.3.1 argument, but most
clients will link against /opt/pgsql/lib so their paths won't have the
version number.

The 64 bit libraries are similar:

$ ls -l libpq*
-rw-r--r--   1 root  users  219202 Dec 22 21:38 libpq.a
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  users      10 Dec 22 21:38 libpq.sl@ -> libpq.sl.3
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  users  131024 Dec 22 21:38 libpq.sl.3*

$ /usr/ccs/bin/ldd psql       libpq.sl.3 =>   /opt/pgsql-7.3.1/lib/pa20_64/libpq.sl.3       libc.2 =>
/lib/pa20_64/libc.2      libxcurses.1 => /lib/pa20_64/libxcurses.1       libgen.2 =>     /lib/pa20_64/libgen.2
libdl.1=>      /lib/pa20_64/libdl.1       libnsl.1 =>     /lib/pa20_64/libnsl.1       libm.2 =>
/lib/pa20_64/libm.2      libnsl.1 =>     /lib/pa20_64/libnsl.1       libdl.1 =>      /usr/lib/pa20_64/libdl.1
libdl.1=>      /usr/lib/pa20_64/libdl.1       libxti.2 =>     /usr/lib/pa20_64/libxti.2
 

Again, the 64 bit binaries have linked to the versioned library. As
a bonus the ldd output looks better too. :-)
