+1. What's there now is incredibly braindead.
I actually wonder if instead of doing all the the hard way in C whether
we should just use SPI for each worker to build it's list of tables. The
big advantage that would provide is the ability for users to customize
the scheduling, but I suspect it'd make the code simpler too.
The same is also true for deciding what database needs to be vacuumed next.
