[GRASS5] access to password-protected postgresql database

Hello,

Is there a possibility to access a password-protected postgresql database
from GRASS5.0/5.3 ? g.select.pg does not seem to give the user the
possibility of specifying a password.

You may be able to use the PGPASSWORD environment variable to specify
the password. However, on some Unices, environment variables may be
visible through the "ps" command (on Linux, you can only view the
environment of your own processes).
