Any reason not to print a "server version" string that looks like
the actual version? Here's what I get connecting to various servers,
along with the integer that PQserverVersion() returns:

8.0.3 server version 8.03 (80003)
7.4.8 server version 7.48 (70408)
7.3.10 server version 7.3 (70310)
7.2.8 server version 7.28 (70208)

Note in particular the missing minor version when connecting to
7.3.10. Why the inconsistency, and why no dot between major and
minor? Or did I miss that discussion?

I agree, this is pretty bogus. Cleaned up ...
