Well the issue is that createdb needs to connect to another database
first in order to create the new database. The default order is shown
below, though it can be overriden:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/app-createdb.html
--maintenance-db=dbname
Specifies the name of the database to connect to when creating the new
database. If not specified, the postgres database will be used; if that
does not exist (or if it is the name of the new database being created),
template1 will be used.
