I like that :) Please see attached patch, which is diff'd from the one
upthread.

I tested using the following:

/* Log in with "abc" */
CREATE ROLE test1 PASSWORD 'md5cdde562ece166a02f5392b656dcf2502' LOGIN;
/* Logs in with "md5cdde562ece166a02f5392b656dcf250g" */
CREATE ROLE test2 PASSWORD 'md5cdde562ece166a02f5392b656dcf250g' LOGIN;
/* Logs in with "md5cdde562ece166a02f5392b656dcf250m" */
CREATE ROLE test3 PASSWORD 'md5cdde562ece166a02f5392b656dcf250m' LOGIN;

I debated adding a test...without being able to simulate a log in, I
don't know if it tests much other than "yes, you can store an invalid
md5 hash and it treats it as plaintext."

Thanks,
