I do not think it's very practical for the core tests to try to cover
any behavior that's not reachable via libpq.  Even testing stuff that's
not reached through ecpg would require a whole slew of new infrastructure
with no use except testing.

I think realistically a better approach to this would be to get some
buildfarm members running the JDBC regression tests (I assume there
are some ...)
