Log message:
    I'm giving a try at some TODO items.  Currently it's the turn of the
    PGPASSWORDFILE environment variable.  I have modified libpq to make use
    of this variable.  I present the first cut here.

    Currently the format for the file should be

    host:port:database:user:password

You applied the *first* cut?  That patch went through two or three
revisions IIRC ...

            regards, tom lane

No, I applied the final one, but CVS shows the text of the first patch
because that is the only one that has the full description.  The email
saying the patch was applied has the actual text of the patch applied:

Patch applied.  Thanks.
