Sounds great.  Helge, the main things your patch was missing were
autoconf support and documentation fixes.  Do you want to add those
(possibly stealing liberally from the Debian patches) and resubmit?

BTW, Bruce has recently committed some wholesale changes in hba.c, so a
patch against 7.1.2 likely won't apply cleanly.  If you could do your
patch as a diff against CVS tip, it'd ease applying it.
