Seems that for the use in fe-connect.c, we could just use open()
instead of stat() if we care.
In fe-secure.c we'd have to have a bit more code since we'd use open()
or so on Win32 to test it, and stat() on unix (because on Unix we need
the output from stat).
Shouldn't be too hard to do, but I keep thinking it'd be cleaner to
just not do the redefine when building libpq. It means we'd add a
define like BUILDING_LIBPQ or something to the libpq Makefile, and
exclude the redefine if set.
I can go with either way, though ;-)
