Bug description:  pg_(p)connect produces uninformative error messages

Description:
------------
When connecting to a pgSQL server (I use 8.2) with a wrong username,
password or port in the connection string, the error given is really
uninformative to the user and actually suggests a problem with the
postgreSQL server:

"Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: server closed the connection
unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or
while processing the request."

The server didn't terminate & the connection was refused/aborted

Expected result:
----------------
To be honest, I expected an error that was similar to that of mySQL -
though I know that is because mySQL actually produces good error messages
=)

e.g.

Access denied for: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Using Password: YES)


The psql binary errors with the expect errors like:

psql: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "root"
