Hmm. I was thinking of inventing an include-file command in the
BKI language, and making initdb just send an INCLUDE command.
That's arguably overkill for the immediate need, but it looks like it
requires just a few lines of code (flex provides pretty much all of the
infrastructure already), and maybe we'd find another use for it later.
However, redirection does sound like a very easy answer ...

Meh --- it'd be different from the way we do it in the rest
of initdb, and it would not be "less code". Maybe it'd run
a shade faster, but I refuse to believe that that'd be
enough to matter.
