According to my count we currently have 30 instances of scripts with 
this shebang line. That includes things not called from makefiles, such 
as pgindent.

I don't recall this causing an issue.

For any small group of people that might exists who don't have 
/usr/bin/perl, they have a simple workaround to call "perl unused_oids".

Can we please get on with dealing with real problems? I don't believe 
this is one.
