 I'll accept this enhancement.
 
 But doesn't setting the slon_user variable automatically make it run  
 under that user?  I'm wondering what the point of the slon_command()  
 function is.  The only difference is the normal way would run with  
 'su -m' but yours does 'su -l'.  I think the former is preferable  
 since it doesn't require slony_user have a valid shell or password.
 
 Also, the variable slon_user should be filtered through %%NAME%%  
 expansion, and might be best located down where the enable flag is  
 defaulted, too.
