Cutting heavily to focus on an extension-only version with
9.1-and-newer compatibility on JDK 6 (7?) seems sensible to me.

The PgJDBC project doesn't maintain compatibility anywhere near as far
back as PL/Java, and we're about to advance the BC stops even further.
People who want to use old databases can use old versions of the
driver.

The build system could also use some love.
