I think that's reasonable, provided that we don't change the default
behavior. I think it's too late to change the default behavior of
much of anything for 9.0, and libpq seems like a particularly delicate
place to be changing things.

I also think adding three new environment variables for this is likely
overkill. I'd rip that part out.

Just to be clear, I don't intend to work on this myself. But I am in
favor of YOU working on it. :-)
