The problem is that opening .so only works if you have the development
package installed for a library, otherwise, you need to use the
soname, in this case libpq.so.2.
The right thing to do is: use the windows library name in the DllImport
attribute and supply a mono-config snippet to be used when running with
the mono runtime.
