Hello:

I attach a patch that adds the PGPASSWORDFILE ability to libpq, and
removes the use of PGPASSWORD.

It uses the format
hostname:port:dbname:user:password

where each item can be replaced by *.

Identifiers that contain : or \ should be escaped with \.

Please double check the doc part of the patch, as I can't get the SGML
documentation to compile here.
