Re: [pgjdbc] Implement JDBC specs via pre-processor step (#435)

I have serious doubts about preprocessing and the preprocessing tool
maturity -- and I strongly feel the pgjdbc goes the wrong non-java way.

Was other possibilities for preprocessing considered?  I've talked to java
guys (I'm not one, I just work on packaging pgjdbc plugin), but all the
guys told me that this is generally suboptimal java approach.  Usually,
when C developer wants to use preprocessor, java guy should go the
sub-classing way.

From the latest *7 release, there has been added lot more preprocessor
constructs.

So is this really wanted?  I haven't had time to study the background
carefully.
