Comment(by dfuhry2):

 Unfortunately we can't directly condition the change on PQlibVersion()
 since it's only available since 9.1:
 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/libpq-misc.html
 Also unfortunately, the PG_VERSION and PG_VERSION_NUM constants match the
 server version (9.2 in my case), not the libpq version.
 I guess PQlibVersion() could be tested for in configure, that still
 wouldn't distinguish between users of 9.0's libpq and 8.4's. Not clear to
 me how to make that distinction.

 {{{
 if (PQlibVersion() < 90000)
 {
     ...
 }
 }}}
