You can only create a comment on the current database:

test=> comment on database template1 is 'xx';
ERROR: Database comments may only be applied to the current database

Do we have psql -l to connect to all the databases to collect comments?
I guess we could _try_ to connect to as many databases as possible, but
it seems a little overly complex to me. What do others think?
