Hum, why is PG doing an (unchecked) atoi on the user specified port
rather than leaving it up to getaddrinfo to resolve the port? It would
seem to require changing UNIXSOCK_PATH to accept a string as the "port
number", which is probably a bit much of a change.
The included doesn't feel very nice, but is probably more acceptable.
