They seem to be good enough that we have not had to worry about it,
with the exception of the close/closesocket issue and the nonstandard
error reporting mechanism.  But both of those have been worked around
for a long time in the libpq sources.  Do we really need to insert a
compatibility layer just to deal with those two problems?
