Log Message:
Changes 2.4:
* New features and changes:
  - Added support for Python 3.1 and 3.2. The conversion has also
    brought several improvements:
    - Added 'b' and 't' mode to large objects: write can deal with both
      bytes strings and unicode; read can return either bytes strings
      or decoded unicode.
    - COPY sends Unicode data to files implementing 'io.TextIOBase'.
    - Improved PostgreSQL-Python encodings mapping.
    - Added a few missing encodings: EUC_CN, EUC_JIS_2004, ISO885910,
      ISO885916, LATIN10, SHIFT_JIS_2004.
    - Dropped repeated dictionary lookups with unicode query/parameters.
  - Improvements to the named cusors:
    - More efficient iteration on named cursors, fetching 'itersize'
      records at time from the backend.
    - The named cursors name can be an invalid identifier.
  - Improvements in data handling:
    - Added 'register_composite()' function to cast PostgreSQL
      composite types into Python tuples/namedtuples.
    - Adapt types 'bytearray' (from Python 2.6), 'memoryview' (from
      Python 2.7) and other objects implementing the "Revised Buffer
      Protocol" to 'bytea' data type.
    - The 'hstore' adapter can work even when the data type is not
      installed in the 'public' namespace.
    - Raise a clean exception instead of returning bad data when
      receiving bytea in 'hex' format and the client libpq can't parse
      them.
    - Empty lists correctly roundtrip Python -> PostgreSQL -> Python.
  - Other changes:
    - 'cursor.description' is provided as named tuples if available.
    - The build script refuses to guess values if 'pg_config' is not
      found.
    - Connections and cursors are weakly referenceable.
