Both actually. It will dynamically load libpq to do things like
Kerberos/SSL, but it will also communicate on the wire itself, allowing
it to do things which aren't so easy through the libpq API.

The code can be seen in the 07_03_ENHANCED branch in CVS. Avoid (or
beware of) the pgfoundry CVs browser though - it gets confused by files
that have been deleted from CVS tip but are still in the branch and
shows them in the attic even though they actually aren't.
