Ok, just to verify I'm thinking about it in the right way: in
abstract, with PITR, I would need a known-good starting point (e.g. a
full backup) + files from pg_xlog created from the time of the
starting-point, then restore the starting-point backup and then
restore from PITR/xlog up to the point I want?
