Uh, yea, I guess I could do that. However, I need to move on to the SCM
creditials patch if we want that in 7.2. In fact, because the md5 patch
didn't make anyone ill, I am going to apply it now so I can start on the
SCM stuff. I can't figure out how to keep them a separate patches
because they overlap so much.
Also, should we be adding it if it is already in pgcrypto with other
nice items?
