Correct. In 8.1.4-2 I even managed to bump the libpq4 shlibs for that.

My advice would be to use the autoconf magic and #defines and use
-Conn() if it's available, and just PQescapeString() if not.
Otherwise, if you are sure that exim only ever uses one connection at
a time, then PQescapeString() is completely safe, too.
