I'd like to get rid of ipcclean immediately; it hasn't had any usefulness
in years.
The issue is larger than the proposed patch addresses, though.
I see the following stuff installed in .../bin by CVS HEAD:
clusterdb initdb pg_resetxlog postmaster
createdb ipcclean pg_restore psql
createlang oid2name pg_standby reindexdb
createuser pg_config pgbench vacuumdb
dropdb pg_controldata pltcl_delmod vacuumlo
droplang pg_ctl pltcl_listmod
dropuser pg_dump pltcl_loadmod
ecpg pg_dumpall postgres
There's an awful lot of names here that don't have any obvious
connection to Postgres ...
