The second question is, is it worth doing this so extremely late in the
8.4 development? After mentioning it quickly in an offlist discussion
with Heikki, I think our conclusion was that we should wait with this
until the tree opens for 8.5. It's not a very likely scenario that
anybody actually has pg_standby on a machine that doesn't have libpq on
it - since it needs to have a PostgreSQL server on it to make any sense....
