Yeah, if anyone insists that this requires a soname bump, I'd probably
look for another solution. Making the makefiles a bit cleaner is not
worth the churn that would cause, IMO.
The place where we'd probably end up if anyone's unhappy about this
is that we'd still be symlinking the three files pqsignal.c, wchar.c,
and encnames.c into libpq. That's not very desirable, but at least
it'd be a fixed list rather than something we're continually having
to change.
