I have applied this patch, with a couple of editorial tweaks, and one
not-so-minor change: superuser privilege is required to create a
database on behalf of another user. Seems to me that CREATEDB
privilege should not be sufficient to allow such an operation.
Still to do: teach createdb script about it, and revise pg_dumpall
to use the facility instead of assuming that database owners have
CREATEDB privilege. Working on those now ...
