another challenge with the Environment variable: they are (at least on
windows) usually set for one logged on user.

And ususally I have pg_admin, python for development, psql and my
application all connected to the same PostgreSQL server.

I would love to see 4 different application names, and not the value of one
environment-variable. that argv[0] that was somewhere in this thread looked
nice :)
