Remember way back when when I had a

#include <something>

and it caused problems for some people who really needed

#include <something.h>

Now I think (but am certainly not sure!) that the difference between the
two was meant to be that in the first instance, the standard namespace
is used. I can't really follow what's happening as

% cvs status pgconnection.cc
Fatal error, aborting.
: no such user

We just changed the first to the second as in g++ all that <something>
does is to include <something.h>, but it may not be true for other compilers.

Hope someone with a reference book near them can check this!
