I deleted my src/bin/vacuumdb directory and supped the latest sources.
They got recreated.  I am copying this to pgsql-hackers as I am fresh out
of ideas here.  Maybe it isn't getting into releases for some reason.

vacuumdb was added post-6.4, so it won't appear in 6.4.* tarfiles.
It wouldn't appear in your CVS pull either, if you pulled the REL6_4 tag
rather than the main branch.

There's no reason the script wouldn't work with 6.4, as far as I can
see.
