I started working on this one to commit it, and came up with a few things more.

Do we even *need* the validate_xlog_location() function? If we just
remove those calls, won't we still catch all the incorrectly formatted
ones in the errors of the sscanf() calls? Or am I too deep into
weekend-mode and missing something obvious?

I've also removed tabs in the documentation, fixed the merge confllict
in pg_proc.h that happened during the wait, and fixed some indentation
(updated patch with these changes attached).

But I'm going to hold off committing it until someone confirms I'm not
caught too deeply in weekend-mode and am missing something obvious in
the comment above about validate_xlog_location.
