Sorry for the late reply, the mail got lost in my inbox.
Yes that's what I had in mind.

I would keep the server and client bits separate, though, so not merge
these into pg_ctl.
I don't have an idea for the ideal name, perhaps only that it should
be short, and distinct from pg_ctl so people don't get confused. (So
not pg_cmd or pg_cli.)
Perhaps pg_util? ("pg" is taken by that classic pager thingy.)
