Hmm, I like that PGAPPNAME handling has resulted in an overall
simplification. I'm not sure why you prefer to keep PGHOST and PGPORT
handled individually at each callsite however; why not do it like
_install, and add them to the environment always? I doubt there's
anything that requires them *not* to be set; and if there is, it's easy
to make the claim that that's broken and should be fixed.

I'm just saying that cluttering _get_install_env() with those two
settings would result in less clutter overall.
