This really should be a separate tool from the Postgres executable
itself, since users would want it only at design time and not at
runtime.  So putting the code in postgres.c at all is not the right way
to go.  It needs to be a loadable module.

If you want to put the code you have up somewhere, I'd happily give you
control of this project:
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/index-adviser/

... which has been dead for 2 years, and never produced any working code.
