My problem was that I forgot to re-compile my apache server (which has
PHP, which is the reason I'm using Postgres) with the new libpq.  However,
I suspect that the Java Postgres class is going to require patches to
do a string insensitive compare -- it doesn't use libpq.  I can deal with
re-building all my programs, I guess...  I'll probably just leave my
main server running the old version for now.

Actually, I think it's better to be case insensitive, but doing it now
is kind of a pain.  It'll be more of one if it happened later though...
