Attached is a psql/Makefile patch that makes fmtId() available to psql C
code.

I tried a test and it seemed to work.  Keep in mind the return value of fmtId()
has to be used before fmtId() is called again, so places that pass two
parameters to printf will need to call fmtId(), save the result, then
call it again and pass them both to printf.
