Comment:

 I'm finding it hard to work up much enthusiasm for this, particularly as
 it will involve testing on Windows. I did find the sprompt.c file in PgSQL
 and it's easy to copy into our tree. I'll commit the configure test to
 create the #define it likes. After that it looks like the code in psql
 startup.c provides a good template for implementation. Remember to use
 PQconnectionNeedsPassword when testing a failed connection. I'll leave
 this in the 2.0 milestone for a while and then punt it to 2.1.
