Hmm. Can we rearrange things so that fe_getauthname is not called till
later? I fail to see why it'd be a good idea to be sucking any kerberos
info in at all during PQconndefaults, so the above suggests to me that
we've divided up the operations wrongly.
BTW you might want to get Bear Giles involved in this, as he seems to be
thinking hard about authentication issues in libpq.
