This is dead.

Leave it be. If someone really needs time information from before 1970
(and who does?) he wouldn't use an OS that doesn't support it anyway.
There are several platforms that don't have complete time information
before 1947 and we've lived with those, too.

A release is cooking. 1.49b was released just a few days ago. Assuming
that it is sane and no final release comes out before beta, we might ship
our beta built with their beta and coordinate with them to make a final
release during our beta. It's a bit risky, but the more testing we can
provide to them the faster they will get a release out.

Porters usually appear during beta.

I would volunteer to package libpq++ separately.

What does -f do?
