I think that's reasonable, provided that we don't change the default
behavior.  I think it's too late to change the default behavior of
much of anything for 9.0, and libpq seems like a particularly delicate
place to be changing things.

I also think adding three new environment variables for this is likely
overkill.  I'd rip that part out.

Just to be clear, I don't intend to work on this myself.  But I am in
favor of YOU working on it.  :-)
