OK, how about adding a PQprepare (PQcreatePrepared?) function like this?
   PGresult *   PQprepare(PGconn *conn,             const char *stmtName,             const char *query,
intnParams,             const Oid *paramTypes)   {       ...
 

PQprepare would construct a Parse message to create a prepared statement
named stmtName from the given query, with nParams types pre-declared. It
could be called by DBD::Pg with nParams == 0 to let the server infer all
of the parameter types.

I suppose an asynchronous equivalent would also be needed.
(Yes, I'm volunteering to write both functions.)
