If we _need_ to check, I don't know. If you've set PGPASSFILE to
something, then you've made a decision to change from the default, and
it could be argued that we don't have to check for that. It can of
course equally well be argued that we should, yes.
Which would bring is to the "how". If there was an easy way to do the
how, we should probably do it. However, I'm very concerned that we will
break a whole lot more than we fix because the permissions system is
much more complex.
