It responds to the immediate complaint, but I was thinking that we ought
to add links to the relevant pages of the libpq docs in the "See Also"
parts of all of the client-application reference pages.  If the links
read like "Client Environment Variables", "Client Password File", etc
then it seems to me this would let us remove the rather incomplete
information that is in the individual reference pages today.
