1. PQprint

   What was the reason that PQprint was abandoned and psql went in its own
   direction?

   The printing routines had to be rewritten, in particular to make them more
   modular. The options were to add a fourth(!) generation of printing
   routines to libpq and live with them until the end of days, or make them
   internal to psql and don't tell anyone when changes happen.
   
   If you want to use psql's printing routines you can just use print.c with
   no changes. I've made an effort to keep it independent of psql.
