OK, I have modified the CVS CREDS code to work on FreeBSD and BSD/OS,
and hopefully NetBSD. I talked to Jason at Linuxworld and I think this
code should work. Please test the CVS version and let me know. OpenBSD
doesn't support creds as far as I can tell.

To test, define 'ident sameuser' for 'local' in pg_hba.conf and restart
postmaster. Then connect as local user.
