I think we should, I just now experimented with setting the server major
version (backed by PG_VERSION_NUM) in the callback struct and added a simple
test.  I'm not sure if there is a whole lot more we need, maybe an opaque
integer for the module to identify its version?

Why only use PKG_CHECK_MODULES for this rather than treating it more like other
dependencies where we fall back on other methods if not found?  While I'm
clearly not the target audience, I build libcurl all the time and being able to
point to a directory would be nice.  There's also the curl-config utility which
should be in all packaged versions.
