i had a look at the code, and figured i wanted similar behaviour for:
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password /dir/passwd.file
but, rather than have a file, i wanted to use pg_shadow with encrypted
passwords.
so the following patch allows for:
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password pg_shadow
where "pg_shadow" is a special key (like "ident sameuser") to set up this
behaviour.
the patch is done in such a way that it will not impact existing installations
