I just wondered if it would be questioned, I didn't say there was a
problem.

However, the long and the short of this is that we can't do anything
without the close cooperation of an init script.  I think that moves
it out of the realm of what Postgres as a project should be doing.
It seems more like a patch that the Linux-based packagers should be
carrying.

Memo to self: get off duff and prepare such a patch for the Red Hat/Fedora
packages.
