Sorry for folowing up my own post but since I got asked in
email, and since I wrote code to do essentially the same thing
before noticing it in the PG docs...

By "service" I am refering to the pg_service.conf file described in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/libpq-connect.html
(see the "service" parameter) and
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/libpq-pgservice.html
