Then I am afraid I don't understand the actual problem. plPHP does not
create a circular dependency because it doesn't require PHP to have 
PostgreSQL support.

Also PHP does not compile the PostgreSQL support by default.

This is no different that Perl, which also has a PostgreSQL driver but
plPerl does not require DBD::Pg to compile.
