Seems like it. I totally missed that one.
As for the patch itself - do we really want to #ifdef all parameters
out? There's no harm in accepting them for non-ssl connections (and
ignoring them), and that might make life easier on third party stuff
that fills in all parameters with their default values if they're not
specified. Like we support sslmode even if we're compiled without SSL.
And yes, sslkey and PGSSLKEY should be made the same thing, I think.
