Another question about these encrypted passwords.  phpPgAdmin needs to 
connect to databases that are sometimes on other servers.

I use the pg_connect() function to do this.  This is passed down to 
PQconenct() I presume.

So, can I specify the password to pg_connect() as 
'md5127349123742342344234'?

ie. Can I CONNECT using an md5'd password?

Also, does this work for non-md5 host lines on the server, and how can I 
avoid doing it on older (pre-7.2) PostgreSQL??
