That approach also has the nice property that it already works for all
releases back to 7.0, whereas

DBD::Pg uses "pg_config --version" and parses the output to set the
version information before compiling. It finds pg_config by using
PG envrironment variables, or looks in the path. Once running, it
does a SELECT version() to find out what server

I'd like to make a small suggestion that would enable external modules
to manage dependencies to PostgreSQL versions. Consider the following code:
#if PGSQL_MAJOR_VER > 7 || (PGSQL_MAJOR_VER == 7 && PGSQL_MINOR_VER > 4)
result = HeapTupleGetDatum(tuple);
#else
/* PostgreSQL 7.4 or earlier
