At this point, no initdb, but you will need to be prepared to reset the
xlog if you don't want to initdb. In short:
1. clean shutdown of old postmaster.2. install new executables.3. pg_resetxlog $PGDATA4. start postmaster.
If you try to skip step 3 you will get some truly frightening complaints
about "unable to locate a valid checkpoint", but as long as you didn't
skip step 1 you haven't lost any data.
