Right now you can't do this. Some version of this will probably be available
with 7.5. Feature freeze will be happening this week and you can check
to see if PITR made it in. A production version of 7.5 probably won't
be released until mid fall (October or November). (There is also a chance
that the release may be named 8.0 instead of 7.5.)
