Why not just call PQinitSSL(true) and do everything in your
application?; from the libpq manual:
If you are using <acronym>SSL</> inside your application (in addition
to inside <application>libpq</application>), you can use
<function>PQinitSSL(int)</> to tell <application>libpq</application>
that the <acronym>SSL</> library has already been initialized by your
application.
Actually, that wording doesn't say what the parameter means so I updated
the documentation:
If you are using <acronym>SSL</> inside your application (in addition
! to inside <application>libpq</application>), you can call
! <function>PQinitSSL(int)</> with <literal>0</> to tell
! <application>libpq</application> that the <acronym>SSL</> library
! has already been initialized by your application.
