Indeed it is nice to see this feature (great to prevent spoofing), but if I don't have a ~/.postgresql/root.crt at all, it shouldn't certainly break completely? (which it does now). libpq did not bump the SONAME, thus this breaks backwards compatibility with previous PostgreSQL versions which also used libpq.so.5, i. e. from 8.2 on. (Oh, and just for the record: I'm not advocating at all to bump the soname; with thousands of packages linking against it, those are always painful library transitions).
