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.
