Well, there's now been 2 calls for seperate options for the autovacuum
process; this one and the ability to give it a different log level.
Perhaps what would be best is having autovac read a second set of config
options that would over-ride settings in the main postgresql.conf. This
could be a seperate GUC, or perhaps a seperate config file (which would
allow for removing all the autovac controls from postgresql.conf).
