You're right but :
- Postgres 7.3 isn't supported by postgresql community (and therefore mustn't 
be used)
- Even if you were to use Postgres 7.3, the first one having 
PQescapeStringConn is 7.3.15, released on 2006-05-23. There have been several 
security fixes since then, up to release 7.3.19.

What I mean is that I'm not sure there is a point in trying to be backward 
compatible with a version that is unsupported by postgresql community, and 
unpatched by it's administrator... Someone using 7.3.15 today is taking big 
chances with his data.
