You could originally connect to the database as some kind of power user.
Check the password against the pg_shadow view (you would need to md5 your
password somehow) and then do a SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION (or SET ROLE) to
change your permissions.  Not sure how secure this would be but it's the way
I would try.
