How hard would it be to extend PITR for master-slave (hot backup)
repliaction, which should then amount to continuously shipping logs to
slave and doing nonstop PITR there :)

It will never be usable for multi-master replication, but somehow it
feels that for master-slave replication simple log replay would be most
simple and robust solution.
