I remember now why I added "\n". I am used to writing pg_upgrade output
strings, which are obviously not sent to log files. Seems I forgot that
distinction. As far as moving the string to the next line, I was trying
to keep the line from getting too long.

Updated patch has everyone on the same line. I am fine with nitpicky.
Frankly, I have applied so many patches in the past few weeks, I am glad
someone is watching.
