The just released psycopg 2.4.5 has had its codebase cleaned up using
the gcc static checker.

I haven't managed to run it without false positives, however it's been
very useful to find missing return value checks and other nuances. No
live memory leak has been found: there were a few missing decrefs but
only at module init, not in the live code.
