(in some compilations there is linkage to some system libraries, which have versions of their own. in other implementations there are wrappers around the libpq-libraray, which have their own version to. Oh, and there is open-ssl which may be mixed into the whole party) So 2 bytes of source-code / linker redundancy in times where smartphones sport 12Gigabyte should be payed....
