The attached patch modifies initdb to create a default database called
'postgres' when the cluster is initialised. Documentation updates are
included, including updates to relevant examples to encourage users to
use this database in place of template1. I have not modified utilities
like createuser however - this is to ensure there are no dependencies on
the postgres database within the server itself, thus giving users with
limited disk space the option of removing the postgres database if
required.
Please apply for 8.1.
