Well depends if boring or not - more refreshing than libdbi it will be,
just like ocilib was on Oracle. I am familiar with the code, so let's
see. I've started a little research today on libpq and also prepared the
IDOUtils source for usage with libpq.

Licensing problems shouldn't happen in case of GPL on *DOUtils.

Yep you are right. I remembered a commit where this has been completely
dropped, but in that case it was just the configure detection and
AC_DEFINE routines. In IDOUtils this was gone, but as mentioned above,
I've re-added that and prepared the code for libpq in order to bring
this todo a bit more to reality.

Kind regards,
Michael
