Subject: libpq5: Possibility to specify the Kerberos keytab file
Package: libpq5
Version: 8.4.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Libpq often used for connect to the database without human assist. In
this case there is no opportunity to enter a password and get a ticket
for authentication in Kerberos.

Please add the ability to specify in a function PQconnectdb(conninfo)
path to the Kerberos 5 keytab file.

Keytab file is a common method of authentication without human and
its support has already been implemented in the postgres server.
