Legacy.  Shouldn't be an issue now as long as TCP/IP listening isn't on --
but then again, I don't know that, thus I have to make sure networking is up
in case it is.  If there is a clean solution to this, then that would be a
good thing.

In this RPM incarnation there is the assumption that only one postmaster is
running.  This will change once multiple config files are easier.... :-)

It's going to be integrated, if I can remember to apply the patch you sent.
I would appreciate patches against the current release as opposed to your
personal development spec file.
