Did you not understand Alvaro's point? Putting this functionality into
pg_ctl will result in huge code bloat, because it will have to duplicate
a lot of code that already exists inside the postgres executable.
I don't object to having a pg_ctl option to call "postgres --check",
but I do object to maintaining two copies of the same code.
