Requiring your users to patch libpq is not going to gain libpqtypes much
acceptance. It would be far better if it can be enabled by just calling
some additional function in the application code (after requiring the
app to link with pqtypes of course). This additional function would
set up pqtypes for later use.
I don't really see the problem you got with the hooks.
