Actually, the "patch" will just be to #include libpq-int.h along with
lipq-fe.h. I arranged for libpq-int.h to be one of the installed header
files, with the idea that some people would rather do that than fix
their code properly. It's their choice: if they want to depend on libpq
internals and have a greater risk of their code breaking across
releases, they can. I just want to discourage that a little bit, and
make it real clear what's considered supported API and what's considered
internal detail.
