Why do we have to involve the whole of PostgreSQL?  Since the only piece
that links to libreadline is psql, perhaps we could fix this by having
only psql optionally use GnuTLS.  (I don't know if you can make an
OpenSSL server talk to a GnuTLS client -- are these things supposed to
be interoperable?)
