Hi All-

  for the record, the change in interpreting BYTEA in the OGR driver 
is very, very old legacy code
and will likely be eliminated in OGR in the not-so-distant future

  thx very much to EvenR for his prompt and accurate insights, as usual

The bottom line is, there is very little in Pg9.x that should be of 
trouble to the other
projects..
