I just came across another problem with this patch. It's not complete :(
You can *run* postgresql fine with it, but you can't run initdb. Oops.
I'll look at completing it with an update to initdb. There's nothing
*wrong* with the patch that's in the queue now (that I know of, of
course), so this is just an extension to it.
