I've just been bitten by the "backslash in string literals" issue. I
have reviewed the mailing lists and the TODO list. I see that the
direction PostgreSQL is headed is to drop the nonstandard escapes,
unless an extended literal is explicitly used. I've attached a patch
which supports this as a configure option, using a
--enable-standard-strings switch. It's probably somewhat naive, but
maybe it can be helpful.
