I don't think we can really take pgresStatus[] out of libpq's API,
since that would break existing applications for no good reason.
But it seems reasonable to add a corresponding function call, say
const char * PQresStatus (ExecStatusType status);
and change libpgtcl to use that instead. We could even deprecate
use of the global array with an eye to removing it someday ...
not very soon though.
Anyone have an objection, or a different opinion about what the function
should be named?
