Comment(by pramsey):

 Yes, the password string builder plops the password in verbatim, which
 means you get something like
 {{{
   dbname=foo user=bar password=pass word
 }}}
 This link gives some advice on how to construct a string with spaces

 http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php

 Since solution 'is to' use single-quotes, that means that passwords with
 single-quotes must be themselves escaped
 {{{
   dbname=foo password='pass word\'s'
 }}}
