Don't hard code it to something else. Make it configurable (with pgsql
as a default for backwards compatibility). For instance, I use 'pg' as
the Pg user name, so hard-coding it to 'postgres' doesn't buy me anything.
Making it configurable (and being able to pick up the site default from
a system config file) would be a definite improvement.

A scratch worth itching, indeed.
