Dear Bruce san.
I may be quite persistent.:-)
I seasoned the proposal method. It was very painful that the
conventional connection method to this password was a plain text.
Although I am simple, I desire the support. Furthermore, the relation
between a field item and an environment variable is complicated.

inetrt% pqpasswd -U postgres -d postgres

Succeeded in creation.
inetrt% pqpasswd -U postgres -d postgres -l

I tried correspondence by sufix of md5 to .pgpass, in order to maintain compatibility.
I wish that it is fully reviewed. Thanks.
