I tried to build it on HPUX just now, and was rather sadly disillusioned
about its portability.  After fixing several problems in the configure
script, removing hard-coded references to include files and libraries
that don't exist here, etc, I ended up with

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tgl/tmp/osdb/src/callable-sql/postgres-call'
gcc -L/home/postgres/testversion/lib -lpq -g  osdb-pg.o ../callable-sql.o ../../program-control.o ../../osdb.o   -o
osdb-pg
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:  forkpty (code)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Anybody know what forkpty() does?  I see it exists in libutil.a on Linux,
but there's no man page for it.

Oh, OSDB also seems to assume that ecpg is in your $PATH.  In general,
it's not prepared to deal with a Postgres that's not installed in the
"standard" place.

This thing needs some work :-(
