Where are we on these TODO items:
o Allow point-in-time recovery to archive partially filled write-ahead logs [pitr]
Currently only full WAL files are archived. This means that the most recent transactions aren't
availablefor recovery in case of a disk failure. This could be triggered by a user command or a
timer.
o Automatically force archiving of partially-filled WAL files when pg_stop_backup() is called or the
serveris stopped
Doing this will allow administrators to know more easily when the archive contains all the files
neededfor point-in-time recovery.

o Add reporting of the current WAL file, perhaps as part of partial log file archiving
Seems they should be completed for 8.2. I have only a /contrib version for
the last one.
