I'd prefer to go in the other direction: provide enough infrastructure
in ecpglib that it can use the unmodified backend sources. It would
probably not take too much code to provide minimal elog and palloc
support ... the question is what else would we need?
(BTW, if anyone is working on making that pie-in-the-sky TODO list,
here's a pet peeve for it: ecpg's bison parser should be auto-generated
from the backend's, instead of derived manually.)
