Re: Fix for HP-UX shared library builds

Here is a revised version of the patch, changed per a suggestion of
Peter Eisentraut's to use +h $(soname) instead of +h $(shlib) in the
link command.

Peter's other question about old HP-UX versions was answered by Tom
Lane:

Nobody has spoken up to say they use HP-UX 9.X.

Will someone apply this patch please?  I recommend it be applied to
the 7.3.x branch as well as HEAD as it will ease upgrading to 7.4
if there is ever a 7.3.2 release.
