I think I found the answer:

        /*
         * Establish a connection using the new PQconnectdb() interface
         */
        if (argc != 3)
        {
            Tcl_AppendResult(interp, "pg_connect: syntax error\n", 0);
            Tcl_AppendResult(interp, "pg_connect -conninfo conninfoString", 0);
            return TCL_ERROR;
        }

It wasn't clear to me that -conninfo is the standard PQconnectdb string
from the manual.  Let me see if I can clear that up.
