Re: psql patch: new host/port without leaving session

Hi,

I've written do_connect() and \c handling part from scratch in the
attached patch. Here are some features introduced:

 - \c syntax is extended. (See comment lines just above \c stuff.)
 - do_connect() AI (like used for prompting password or informing
   client about connect attempt's result.) improved.
 - Some code clean up.

If you'd agree with the style, I'll add patch for the documentation and
PO files too.


Regards.

P.S. Patch passed regressions tests on CVS tip.
