psql-sqld-c.plt
===========================================================================
This driver uses the old approach of sqlid.plt to connect to a database,
with the native client library of a database. It combines the FFI with a 
simple small c library, that wraps synchronous queries to the database
in an OS thread. 

Otherwise, it's the same as sqld-psql-ffi. However:

- sqld-psql-ffi has problems on some operating systems, with select and 
  asynchronous queries blocking forever.
- sqld-psql (based on spgqsl.plt) has problems with UTF-8.

This library needs a C compiler and on UNIX: posix threads, i.e. -lpthread.
On windows, it compiles using 

lc -LD c-sqld-psql.c

On Unix and MacOSX:

gcc -shared -o c-sqld-psql.so c-sqld-psql.c -lpthread.

I know, it's a naive method. However, it seems to give a more robuust
client implementation.
