The releases of HP-UX that HP support are 11.X (the current release)
and 10.X, supported until 2003-06-30. Certainly these releases both
have versioned shared libraries, and I tested the patch on them.
The previous HP-UX release 9.X ended support by the end of 1999. I
doubt if anyone cares about PostgreSQL on HP-UX 9.X, but if they do
speaking up and putting themselves on record in the archives would
be a Good Idea. :-)
I don't know if the comment was ever true; it may have been. I can't
say when (if) it changed although I can find out if anyone's really
curious.

I wasn't sure which was preferred. The values of $(soname) and
$(shlib) in this case are identical.
