Dunno.

If such a feature gets considered, I'm not sure I'd like to actually edit 
pg configuration file to change the message.

The actual source looks pretty straightforward. I'm wondering whether pg 
style would suggest to write motd != NULL instead of just motd.

I'm wondering whether it should be possible to designate (1) a file the 
content of which would be shown, or (2) a command, the output of which 
would be shown [ok, there might be security implications on this one].
