Um, you didn't actually attach the patch ... but in any case this is not
the direction I would have expected. An integrated autovacuum daemon
would certainly not live in src/bin. It would be a module within the
postgres executable, most likely living within src/backend/postmaster
since that seems to be where we're putting integrated postmaster children.
(To clarify: that's where the pgstat daemon is now, and that's where I'm
about to put the bgwriter daemon, so if anyone thinks this is clearly
the wrong place then now would be a good time to mention it...)
