Great!

Yeah. I left it as it is for now, with the XXX comment. (the
corresponding code in master also ignores errors, so this isn't a
regression)

That idea mentioned in the above comment make sense, but I'm not going
to immediately follow up on it. Besides updating the in-trans and
in-error-trans flags in the connection object,
LIBPQ_update_transaction_status also calls CC_on_abort and CC_on_commit
functions when the state changes, so we can't just directly remove
LIBPQ_update_transaction_status.

Not specifically, but I did analyze the number of round-trips performed
by the regression suite earlier.
I've merged this with latest changes in the master branch, and did some
error handling fixes. Latest version is again attached here, and also
available in github
(https://github.com/hlinnaka/psqlodbc/tree/libpq-integration4).
