SSL patch that adds support for optional client certificates.
If the user has certificates in $HOME/.postgresql/postgresql.crt and $HOME/.postgresql/postgresql.key exist, they are provided to the server. The certificate used to sign this cert must be known to the server, in $DataDir/root.crt. If successful, the cert's "common name" is logged. Client certs are not used for authentication, but they could be via the port->peer (X509 *), port->peer_dn (char *) or port->peer_cn (char *) fields. Or any other function could be used, e.g., many sites like the issuer + serial number hash. Bear Giles
