Yeah ... what you really want is the SQL-spec row comparison operator

select ... where (c1,c2,c3) >= ('c1v','c2v','c3v') order by c1,c2,c3;

This does not work properly in any current PG release :-( but it does
work and is optimized well in CVS HEAD.  See eg this thread
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00209.php
