I'm not sure how useful this information would be. Most health 
checks (Nagios or otherwise) really only care if things are 
working all the up to point A or not, where point A is usually 
a simple query such as "SELECT 1". Knowing various failure states 
as returned by PQping* does not seem to fit into such tools - 
any failure needs to be handled manually.
