I dubbed it pguile. Its version number is 0.1. There are many things to
do till it gets 1.0. Currently it contains only wrappers for libpq
functions (not for all of them, though). It would be great to develop
some higher level interface, but I don't have any idea what it should
be like. One of the reasons I wish to publish the thing is to get ideas
from people.

It is a separate package with its own configure. I believe some
other interfaces (JDBC, for instance) are too. I don't sure that
there is a need to integrate it with PostgreSQL's top-level configure.
As for documentation, I'm afraid I have nothing except README.

So, how can I send my code? May I post it to you? I'm ignorant in
things like CVS...

I don't know. What is it?
