Thanks, Gerhard, but it doesn't work.

The error is due to pgversion.c/parseToken(). Parsing the vstr info
into major, minor, patch doesn't work. The version string from
"SELECT version();" is

PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta4 on ...

parseToken() handles beta versions too restrictive allowing only ...b4
instead of ...beta4. I have relaxed this condition by replacing the line

     *result = strtol(token, &last, 0);

by

     *result = strtol(token, &last, 0);
     return (errno != 0);

thus allowing everything after the patch number. This is perhaps
too permissive but my test script with a simple SELECT statement
works now.
