Here's rev 2 of the bytea string support patch. Changes:

1. Added missing declaration for MatchBytea function
2. Added PQescapeBytea to fe-exec.c
3. Applies cleanly on cvs tip from this afternoon

I'm hoping that someone can review/approve/apply this before beta starts, so
I guess I'd vote (not that it counts for much) to delay beta a few days :-)
