I think this is a great addition. One thing that I think should be
added for completeness though is the ability to deallocate the
prepared statement using PQsendClosePrepared. Other than that the
changes look great.

Also a tiny nitpick: stmt_name should be replaced with STMT_NAME in
this line of the help message.
