[ Cc'ed to the XEmacs development list and the postgres debian package
  maintainer ]

                Hi!

        After upgrading my debian system (woody), the postgres package went
from 6.5 to 7.0b3. On debian linux boxes, the postgres headers are located
under /usr/include/postgresql/.

        The file `libpq-fe.h' #include's the file `postgres_ext.h' using <>
instead of "" (line 27). As a consequence, applications that just do:

| #include <full/path/to/libpq-fe.h>

can't build anymore because the file `postgres_ext.h' is not in the path. This
happens to be the case for XEmacs. I believe this is a bug because:

1/ this didn't happen with my former version 6.5
2/ the usage of <> or "" doesn't seem to be coherent among the headers
3/ it's better to use "" when headers installed in the same place have to
   include each others


        What do you think ? Was this change intentional ?

Thanks.
