yah, seriously. the binary protocol is not considered stable, it can change in subtle ways in each version. libpq handles the current version and all previous versions, and exposes all methods.
I don't think the frontend/backend protocol has changed since version 7.4. All data can be in text format; you don't have to deal with binary.
I have implemented an interface in Lisp. I found it much easier and more flexible than the foreign function interface with C and libpq.
