I left this as submitted by Heikki, mainly because the percentage-of-
shared-buffers bit seemed useful to me and it would make less sense IMHO
if attached to a number of megabytes instead of a number of buffers.
But it's a judgment call for sure. Any other opinions out there?

Done; I put in two DEBUG2 messages, one at start and one at completion
of the file-creation.

I concur that log_autovacuum seems to cover this already.

No strong opinion, but I left it as-is for the moment in case Alvaro is
about to commit something in postmaster.c (I suspect the double-shutdown
business is a bug in there). Don't want to cause merge problems for him
just for cosmetic message cleanup.
