Eventually ... maybe. But, I agree with Tom on this, it will be awhile
before libpq can/will disappear, as there is too much code out there that
relies on it. Figuring our release cycles being 4-6mos, and figuring that
it would be *at least* 2 full releases after Corba was fully implemented
before we could phase out libpq, figure, oh, 2 years at least before libpq
*could* disappear :)
