=======

* Add XML output to pg_dump and COPY

We already allow XML to be stored in the database, and XPath queries

can be used on that data using /contrib/xml2. It also supports XSLT

transformations.

* Add a libpq function to support Parse/DescribeStatement capability

* Prevent libpq's PQfnumber() from lowercasing the column name (?)

* Allow libpq to access SQLSTATE so pg_ctl can test for connection failure
