the basic SQL to C mappings are defined by the H files listed here, 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/xfunc-c.html#XFUNC-C-TYPE-TABLE

[dmb>] Yes, thanks, I found those. Most useful too. What I was looking for was 
the preferred set of functions that could be used to convert between those 
types and native C types (that could be used externally with no Postgres 
includes).

[dmb>] This is fairly easy for ints and reals, but is particularly a problem 
for all the variable length types (eg text, time and decimal).
