What happens if I don't want to use this feature and/or I don't have the
certificates set up?  Why are errors from getpwuid() thrown away, isn't
that a risk?

POSIX-isms in SSL code are OK.  I don't think WIN32 handles SSL yet.
Please use MAXPGPATH to size buffers for file names.

What exactly is the "problem" you identify?  I couldn't make it out.
