I was thinking of pq_pthread_* calls, and that function would
set a static flag for calling either the real pthread_* function
or a statically named version in libpgport.a that is a single thread
wrapper.

I know, this sucks, but, I don't see any other way, other than linking
*ALL* libpq-using programs (including initdb and friends) with -K
pthread.

k, a change that 'sucks', vs linking against -Kpthread ... I'm for the -Kpthread route myself, which still sounds the 'clean' solution ...
that was rejected back in Jan-Mar.

BUT, I agree it would work.

I tried to submit the patch, and it was killed.
