It would definitely be more logical, but I haven't found easy way to do
it. May be I should return to this place and rethink. I don't like and
idea to explicitely ignore connection string parameter due to some
condition. 

Really, I think, test for replication connection can be either
removed from this part of code now.

It seems that in this context change readonly=0|1 to
targetServerType=any|master  makes sense.

I'll recheck it.
