=======
-* Add XML output to pg_dump and COPY
-
- We already allow XML to be stored in the database, and XPath queries
- can be used on that data using /contrib/xml2. It also supports XSLT
- transformations.
-
* Add a libpq function to support Parse/DescribeStatement capability
* Prevent libpq's PQfnumber() from lowercasing the column name (?)
* Allow libpq to access SQLSTATE so pg_ctl can test for connection failure
