Well, it is open source, so there's no reason why someone couldn't make
these changes for 7.4 and also release a binary version in the mean time.
I have a copy of a 7.2 psql binary for linux that that has some of the
7.3 psql improvments in it, sometimes it comes in very handy. I'd be
interested in helping out with this, though Christopher would probably
start throwing things at me if I volunteered :-)
