OK, so:

1. Leave -X option in initdb.  Remove all other -X options.

2. Remove all uses of PGXLOG.

3. Symlink from PGDATA to desired location.

4. Implement pg_mvxlog to move xlog if server is shut down.  (So no one
needs to know about 3.)

In the future:

Combine pg_mvxlog, pg_controldata, pg_resetxlog into pg_srvadm.

Sounds good.
