Well, Alvaro has whispered me a more elegant method by using TestLib()
to only import a portion of the routines and avoid the redefinition
errors. Hence, patch 0001 attached creates equivalents of command_*
for PostgresNode and tests use it without setting PGPORT. Patch 0002
is a run of perltidy on the whole.
