[ADMIN] psql shell return codes - checking if database exists

[Mario Splivalo]

I need to check, from a bash script, if certain database exists in a 
postgres cluster. When I issue:

psql -U someuser somedatabase
psql returns error code 2 regardless of 'no user' or 'no database' 
condition. How could I distinguish from the two?
