Done. Also, here is a patch to remove the redundant-seeming prefixes
from our reports of connection failures. My feeling that this is the
right thing was greatly increased when I noticed that psql, as well as
a few other programs, already did it like this. (I still favor
Alvaro's patch for the back branches, though.)
