FWIW I just noticed something else.  With this patch we add pg_strdup
calls into print.c.  pg_strdup lives in common.c.

This is fine as psql is concerned, but we have another problem which is
that in bin/scripts there are two programs that want to use
printQuery().  The problem is that there's no pg_strdup there :-(

The easy solution is to add pg_strdup to bin/scripts/common.c, but there
we don't have a global progname, so the error report in the out of
memory case cannot carry the name of the program crashing.

I don't like that, but I don't see any other solution.  Ideas welcome.
