cc'ing martin, who may have inadvertently volunteered himself
as a pgsql expert :)

based on conversations here and on d-d, this is what i propose for
getting a little more out of postgresql support.

currently, we do something like this in $package.config:

- local socket or tcp/ip?
- if tcp/ip
 - get host
- get db name
- get admin (not used)
- get admin pass (not used)
- get user
- get pass (not used)

which is basically a copy of what's done in the mysql config.
this is what i propose:

- local socket or tcp/ip?
- if tcp/ip
 - get host
- get dbuser
- get db name
- get ident/crypt/md5/krb5
- if ident
 - get system user
 - get admin user
- elif crypt/md5
 - get pass
 - get admin pass
- elif krb5 (um... more r'ing tfm...)
- if changes are required to config
 - get change config

does this make sense?
