pgdb.connect() seems to be broken on Python 2.0.1 (which ships with

Slackware 8), and perhaps on other Pythons, haven't checked.  Something in
the _pg.connect() call isn't working.  I think the problem stems from the
fact that 'host' is a named parameter of both _pg.connect and pgdb.connect,
and so Python treats it as a variable assignment, not a named parameter.

Uses non-named parameters.
