> The attached patch modifies initdb to create a default database called
> 'postgres' when the cluster is initialised. Documentation updates are
> included, including updates to relevant examples to encourage users to
> use this database in place of template1. I have not modified utilities
> like createuser however - this is to ensure there are no
> dependencies on
> the postgres database within the server itself, thus giving users with
> limited disk space the option of removing the postgres database if
> required.

> Please apply for 8.1.
