While a normal SELECT statement can contain a GROUP BY clause, a cursor
declaration cannot. This was not the case in PG-1.0. Was there a good
reason why this was changed? Are cursors being phased out? Is there any way
to get data with just a SELECT (and without a DECLARE CURSOR ...)?

The patch below seems to fix things. If anyone can see a problem with it,
please let me know. Thanks.
