 To connect to a pg database, the user apparently must:
 - run db.connect(.schema) giving:
 Driver name (pg)
 Database name
 "host=faunalia.it,dbname=database_name" (with comma and maybe quotes)
 nameoftheschema
 - run db.login giving
 Database name
 host=faunalia.it dbname=prova_leo (with space, no comma, no quotes)
 username
 password
 This seems a bit more complicated than necessary. I suggest:
 - to have consistent syntax
 - to put each variable in a different space, separating host and db_name
 - to merge the two modules into one, so user must enter Driver name,
 host, dbname only once.
 If you look at:
 http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/grass-pg.html
 everything looks more simple:

 db.connect driver=pg database="host=myserver.itc.it,dbname=mydb"

 db.login user=myname [pass=secret]
