databases/py-PyGreSQL with postgresql7-client only fails

[Palle Girgensohn]

Hi.

Well... the python client should of course not need server headers. 
Probably, one might argue that the needed types should really exists in 
some client header as well... I'm not sure. The postgres.h header is not 
needed at all, it is a common mistake to add it to client applications. The 
pg_types.h *is* needed, since it defines the representations numbers for 
different system types.

Anyway, the needed types are system types and very stable according to the 
postgresql folks, so they could really be copied into PyGreSQL 
distribution. The attached patch should fix your problem. Please try it out.

I've cc:ed the developer of PyGreSQL, D'Arcy, as well. Maybe he has 
something to add?

Regards,
Palle
