I have strongly considered doing this, and even started on the project some
time ago. (I've stopped now). At first I wanted to add 7.3 and 7.4 features
to a 7.2 psql. Then I considered writing a master psql that could handle
any backend. In the end, however, I realized that with 7.3 well out the door,
it was better to encourage people to upgrade to 7.3 and spend my energies
on other things. If there is still a strong interest however, I can easily
help out and share what I have already done.
