I can't wait till 9.1 since pgpool-II needs it now. Of course I could
propose a patch against HEAD when I have enough time...
BTW, I have checked xlog.c etc. and probably the only way to know if
the standby is promoting is, to see if ShutdownWalRcv() is called. If
it's called, global variable WalRcvData->walRcvsState is set to other
than WALRCV_RUNNING, I think.
