4: Response to db_transactions in PostgreSQL (response to 1)

We've already decided that 4.6 will require PG 7.2 (it's been out for about a year and PG 7.3 is already in beta).  In the past we've tried to maintain compatibility with the current and previous versions of PG.  So  shooting for 7.3 and 7.2 support, but dropping 7.1 support, fits with past history.

Of course I just learned yesterday that "timestamp" in PG 7.3 will be timezoneless while in PG <= 7.2 it includes timezone so all our code's going to break Real Soon Now but I haven't even started thinking about how we might work around this.  Sigh.
