It's supposed to handle the connection string passed as dbname case to
be able to get the right output for host:port. It works, but I don't
really like it all that much, honestly. I also submitted a patch to
add on to libpq to handle this, but Alvaro posed some questions I
don't have good answers for. So I actually have another patch brewing
that I actually like, but I need to put the finishing touches on. I
plan on submitting that later this morning.
