It seems like you've failed to understand the main shortcoming of this
whole idea, which is the loss of ability to detect pre-existing backends
still running in a cluster whose postmaster has crashed. The nattch
variable of SysV shmem segments is really pretty critical to us, and
AFAIK there simply is no substitute for it in POSIX-land.
