Re: [HACKERS] PSQL man page patch

OK, we never installed this for 6.2 because we were already in Beta.
Can we do this for 6.3? Vadim suggested we make this part of libpq, so
all applications could make use of it.

I have one of the original patches, but not the others. Martin, what do you
think? Any other comments on this?
