pgAdmin uses it's own database classes that wrap around libpq (not
libpqxx). They are very simple to use, and you can grab a connection
object from virtually any object related to a database in the app. See
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgAdmin_Internals for more details -
the database classes are in pgadmin/db and pgadmin/include/db in the
source tree.

I have no idea - I've never written a parser myself.

I can help there when the time comes.

It should be - but it's pgsql-students@postgresql.org.
