I've been trying to link with various libraries the are also used on 
client, but this is server side. The reason I am doing that is not 
because of the V1 macros, which are covered in the headers, but because 
of palloc. I have to use palloc for memory allocation when dealing with 
V1 macros, but unfortunately I can't find an implementation of it 
anywhere. The signatures of CurrentMemoryContext and MemoryContextAlloc 
are referenced by whatever palloc does. So where the heck are palloc and 
CurrentMemoryContext and MemoryContextAlloc implemented? Do I have to 
link to a .o intermediate object file directly from PostgreSQL source?
