Yes, thread.c, path.c, and sprompt.c should be in utils, but how do I do
that? Utils seems to be a place things are pulled from, rather than a
library that goes with every link.

Is it worth creating another library that acts just like /port but is
called utils, or should we just rename the directory to portutils?

I am looking to move fmtId() over to port too so psql can use it. It is
already used by pg_dump, and /scripts.
