Doh - sorry, I see you have that guy! Have a look at exec_simple_query
in src/backend/tcop/postgres.c, by the time pg_plan_queries returns you
have finished planning. The call to CreateQueryDesc is going to be from
PortalStart in that case. Hopefully this will get you started (you may
need to look at exec_*_message functions too).
