Thanks.

Yes, I know about it. When I tried to solved it in November, I found some
unnecessary includes and also there are some not well placed structures and so
on. I also sent one fix which probably lost in black hole of patch queue:

See http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2007-10/msg00197.php

There are big work on pg_resetxlog.c and I will look on it. It probably will
require a cleanup in headers files.
