Without this, there's no way to pass arbitrary libpq connection parameters to these applications. It's a bit strange that the option is called -d/--dbname, when in fact you can *not* pass a database name in it, but it's consistent with other client applications where a connection string is also passed using -d. Original patch by Amit Kapila, heavily modified by me.
