[PATCH] Connect to database using UNIX domain sockets

Dear pgadmin hackers,

Enclosed is a small, nonintrusive patch that allows one to connect to
a database using the UNIX domain socket under Linux and BSD (a must
for secure, password-less operation). One simply leaves the "hostname"
field blank when filling in the database connection form.

Since this patch leverages the clever fallback mechanism already built
into libpq, I see no reason why it would break anything under Windows.

Thanks for your work on pgadmin. Regards, Dom
