Hi,

I committed 0001 as you had it and 0002 with some more cleanups. Things I did:

- Adjusted some comments.
- Changed processQueryResult so that it didn't do foo(bar) with foo
being a pointer. Generally we prefer (*foo)(bar) when it can be
confused with a direct function call, but wunk->foo(bar) is also
considered acceptable.
- Changed the return type of ParallelSlotResultHandler to be bool,
because having it return PGresult * seemed to offer no advantages.
