Well, that's a fair point. Another issue though is whether it makes
sense for XLOG_BLCKSZ to be different from BLCKSZ at all, at least in
the default case. They are both the unit of I/O and it's not clear
why you'd want different units. Mark, has your testing shown any
indication that they really ought to be separately configurable?
I could see having the same configure switch set both of 'em.
