I don't claim to understand the complete code behind
PQconnectionNeedsPassword(). I just found that in at least 8.3RC1,
this did return True if pg_hba.conf set password authentication and
none was provided. I tried every trick that came into my mind,
redirecting stdin, using PGPASSWORD, and I think even a fake empty
.pgpass file, nothing worked.
