I am not sure about this claim, but it seems to me that we could get
rid of the duplications in src/port/path.c, libpq/fe-connect.c and
psql/command.c (this one is different for WIN32 but consistency would
be a good thing) as the proposed patch outlines.  So I would suggest
to begin with that rather than changing three places to do the same
thing.
