But it needs some g++ comand-line options hack (at least for FreeBSD),
and it is not described anywhere. Moreover, it is not obvious how to use
e.g. PgEnv, which uses "string". Of cause, the new libpq++ looks much
more attractive. But it needs documentation or, at least, examples.
And there are some difficulties in using gdb with C++ templates.
