It's a per-send flag, it's not possible to force it on with a fcntl :-(

What about an option to skip the sigaction calls for apps that can 
handle SIGPIPE? I'm not sure if an option at connect time, or a flag 
accessible through a function like PQsetnonblocking() is the better 
approach.

Attached is a patch that adds a connstr option, but I don't like it.
