I think that we cannot use the version information that was extracted 
for compiling PostGIS itsself (the C code) because we have no guarantee 
that the pgjdbc.jar is the same version. In fact, I currently use the 
8.0 jar file because of some huge improvements, but have a V7.4 server.

I'm not really shure how we can do it. It may be necessary to use java 
code for this version extraction, or do some "probe compiling".

I have no idea. As far as I know, PostGIS itsself only supports 7.2 and 
upper. Is there any real need to use a pgjdbc 7.1 jar against a 7.2 
server running PostGIS?
