Beginning here may be a good idea, this is not a new subject:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAJKUy5id1eyweK0W4+yyCM6+-qYs9erLidUmb=1a-QYBgTW4Qw@mail.gmail.com
And that's something a couple of people have tried to work on without
much progress over the last couple of years: we blocked on a couple of
points like for example the way we should manage the switch to what is
now done from recovery.conf to recovery.done.
