Solaris ident authentication using unix domain sockets

Hi,
I have a patch that I have been using to support postgresql's
notion of ident authentication when using unix domain sockets on
Solaris. This patch basically just adds support for using
getupeercred() on Solaris so unix sockets and ident auth works just
like it does on Linux and elsewhere.

This was my first attempt wrestling with automake. I've
tested it builds properly after it is applied and autoreconf is run
on RHEL4/Linux/x86. I am using the patch currently on Solaris 10 /
x86.
