Err, your patch looks inconsistent: it only uses underscore on some
strings.  I'll fix it up and commit it to HEAD.

As seen here [1] it's not so obvious what to fill into the $dburl line
in include/conf.php.
My suggestion to clarify this a bit:
Replace
# $db_url = "mysql://user:password@hostname/database";
with
# $db_url = "mysql://dbuser:dbpassword@dbhostname/database";
This should make it a little clearer that the database user, password
and host is meant.
The same should be done with the PostgreSQL line...

Here's a simple patch against 4.5.2.

And here is the equivalent patch for HEAD, against settings.php.

+1 from me. This very small change makes it very clear that we do not
want the hostname of the server, but of the database.
One small question: in drupal we use underscores to mark words
everywhere (functions, variables, modules, themes etc.) so can you use
db_hostname?
Attached patch does that.
