APQ: undefined PQescapeString Work-Around for older PostgreSQL releases

["Warren W. Gay VE3WWG" <ve3wwg@cogeco.ca>]

For some of you that are using older releases of PostgreSQL prior to
7.2.1 and wanting to use APQ, a work-around has been posted to the
website that leaves your PostgreSQL software unchanged.

The problem is fixed by using the extracted new C source code
for PostgreSQL's PQescapeString function, and adding it to your
built libapq.a library (the source for this C module is also
provided for your convenience). This solves the APQ linking
problem while leaving your existing PostgreSQL software
unaltered.

It is unknown how far back in PostgreSQL releases this works,
but it should work for any relatively recent vintage.

The work-around is provided at:

APQ is a thick binding to the PostgreSQL database client library
libpq, for Ada95 programs. APQ supports FreeBSD/Linux/UNIX and
win32 client access to PostgreSQL databases. The APQ binding
