Not sure what you consider an "external" large object is.  7.0.* has
a few remnants of what apparently used to be support for three or four
kinds of large objects, but the code was nowhere close to working
even if it weren't #define'd out.  I ripped the remnants out for 7.1;
all that's left is the "standard" kind of LO.  The "standard" kind has
been reimplemented a lot more efficiently, courtesy of Denis Perchine,
if that makes you feel any better...
