Here's a patch to move src/port/pgcheckdir.c to src/common/checkdir.c
and add the shareable part of postmaster's current checkDataDir code
into it, as pg_check_dir_permissions. This is in the spirit of using it
in pgstat to check the directory defined by stats_temp_directory.
(This is basically the same patch I posted earlier, except the file is
now in src/common instead of src/port.)
Barring objections I intend to push this to 9.3 and HEAD shortly.
