The decision which files should be changed must be taken. e.g.
createdb, dropdb will use template1 hardcoded. Is it acceptable that
those tools fail if the "postgres" database isn't present any more?
How about template1 as a fallback?
Fallback is a fine idea, but this brings up another problem I'm
currently facing: how to identify the problem the connection has from
libpq? If the problem is a wrong password, we certainly don't want to
try again. I browsed the sources over and over, but apparently there's
no machine readable return code to distinguish the reason of connection
failure apart from examining the errormessage string. I have the same
problem in pgAdmin, where I try to give extended messages like
