I've committed a modified version of the first patch, to change the
on-disk format to RFC 5803, as mentioned on the other thread
(https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/351ba574-85ea-d9b8-9689-8c928dd0955d@iki.fi).
I'll continue reviewing the rest of the patch on Monday, but one glaring
issue is that we cannot add an argument to the existing libpq
PQencryptPassword() function, because that's part of the public API. It
would break all applications that use PQencryptPassword().
What we need to do is to add a new function. What should we call that?
We don't have a tradition of using "Ex" or such suffix to mark extended
versions of existing functions. PQencryptPasswordWithMethod(user, pass,
method) ?
