I have few notes about patches.

I think there is lack of necessary braces here for first if and second
else branches. This is true for both patches.

Maybe it is better to move this code into the PQhostaddr() function?
Since connip is used only in PQhostaddr() it might be not worth to do
additional work in main PQconnectPoll().
