Hi all,
When working on extensions or packaging, one can do some grep-ing on
pg_config.h to get PG_VERSION_NUM to do version-related operations. An
example of that is the Makefile of plv8 using --include-dir with perl
and a regex:
https://github.com/plv8/plv8/blob/master/Makefile
Wouldn't it be more simple to expose PG_VERSION_NUM in pg_config with
a new option? Like that for example:
$ pg_config --version-num
90500
Attached is a patch implementing the idea.
