The thought suddenly has occurred to me -- the client system that I'm
using *isn't* missing postgresql. It's got an old version on it!
*Really* old -- perhaps predating 6.5.x. Oooppss. Client libraries, huh?
Sounds like it's time to clean that out, replace with new client stuff.
It's weird, though -- a Win9x machine I was initially trying this on
(Python/PyGreSQL again) caused the identical error message to occur.
