template1 but only if you allow it from pg_hba.conf.
The postgres database would be more appropriate on 8.1+ (it is specifically
inteded for that kind of thing), however like template1, it can be dropped,
though that isn't advisable without good reason.

So there is no guaranteed way to do this, unless there is a known,
existing database? Seems like a shortcoming, to me. Would this be
considered as a feature request, or does the current design make it to
difficult to implement?
