It built ok with jdbc3 for me.
IMHO the build does need fixing, I've had a few conversations with
Barry about it and I hoped to make some changes once my patch was
accepted.

You're patch doesn't seem to include the PGRefCursorResultSet stuff
for allowing refcursor return values from procs to be mapped to
ResultSets. Including this necessitates an additional file which
declares an interface to represent refcursor ResultSet types.
That was part of my original patch, I think it would be easier from a
release management point of view if you patched my patch.

Well done for doing this... I hope these changes get accepted soon, I
am already using them and it seems you found them useful as well.
