I changed the schema code to use pg_user wherever possible, and checking
for access privilege to pg_shadow to try to resolve the encrypted password.

Nasty wx... There already was some code for non-win32, and I activated
it for win32 now. wxWindows will optimize away the scrollbars if not
initially necessary, and they will never come back... Now the window is
forced extra-small so that scrollbars are necessary right from the start.
