There really isn't a tool per say. You best bet is to do an initdb in a
new directory, then copy the contents of that global directory into your
old $pgdata (or better yet, a copy of it).  IF that works, you should
immediately do a pg_dump to see if you can get a real backup of your
data, and then I'd do a whole new initdb/createdb/load just to be overly
thorough. Then send us an email to let us know :-)
