In patch 1,

* The docs are not clear on what happens if --auth-prompt is not given
but an auth prompt is required for the program to work.  Should it exit
with a status other than 0?

* BootStrapKmgr claims it is called by initdb, but that doesn't seem to
be the case.

* Also, BootStrapKmgr is the only one that checks USE_OPENSSL; what if a
with-openssl build inits the datadir, and then a non-openssl runs it?
What if it's the other way around?  I think you'd get a failure in
stat() ...

* ... oh, KMGR_DIR_PID is used but not defined anywhere.  Is it defined
in some later commit?  If so, then I think you've chosen to split the
patch series wrong.


May I suggest to use "git format-patch" to produce the patch files?  When
working with a series like this, trying to do patch handling manually
like you seem to be doing, is much more time-consuming and error prone.
For example, with a branch containing individual commits, you could use 
  git rebase -i origin/master -x "make install check-world"
or similar, so that each commit is built and tested individually.
