Does ecpg precompile C++ programs with embedded SQL, or does it not?

| I am about to upgrade from RHEL3 to RHEL5 and they seem to have postgresql
(8.1.9 so far) as a database management system as one of the possibilities.
I currently run IBM DB2 and have a bunch of C++ programs with embedded SQL.
I cannot find good documentation on ecpg. They seem to imply it does C++ as
well as C, but elsewhere, I see that it is not fully implimented.
So does it work for the most likely C++ programs, or not? If not, what do
other people do? IBM have had a precompiler for embedded SQL since before
2000, so it is time that PostgreSQL does it to, IMAO.

Must be out of my depth... how and for that matter why do you pre-compile
an interpreted language?
