These environment variables are documented in the libpq section of the
new v6.3.x html/hardcopy documents. However, PGUSER was omitted. Would
someone like to add it to the sgml sources? It is in
doc/src/sgml/libpq.sgml
Look for PGHOST, put in some text in the appropriate area, and send a
patch. It's that easy! (Wasn't that a Ross Perot quote?...)
