Greetings,   After helping a user on irc, I was wondering if there would be any
objection
to my making a patch that would:

1) expose DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR via a libpq call
2) add this information to the psql --version output (or some other
switch, I'm agnostic).

for those weird times when some distro changes it, and you then
overwrite parts of it,
it would be useful for diagnostics.

Comments?

LER
