Specifically, I think what you missed is that on some platforms C
functions pass or return float values differently from similar-sized

Argh ... I would have certainly missed that.

It'd be less ugly to convert to v1 calling convention.

Okay -- I'll change contrib/seg to v1 to greenify back the buildfarm.

So I think we really do need to offer that compile-time option.
Failing to do so will be tantamount to desupporting v0 functions
altogether, which I don't think we're prepared to do.

I have asked the Cybertec guys for a patch.  Since it's basically a copy
of the float8 change, it should be easy to do.

Here's the patch (against current CVS) with the required change.
Please review, it passed make check with both --enable and --disable-float4-byval.
