After looking closely at those things, I agree with you: having some
code duplicated in two places instead of five is still a win... Now, I
think having this declaration of write_stderr in restricted_token.c is
confusing:
+#define write_stderr(fmt, ...) fprintf(stderr, fmt, __VA_ARGS__)
We could have bad surprises in the future if there is some work to
link pg_ctl with the stuff of restricted_token.c. Hence, could you
replace that with plain calls to fprintf(stderr, ...)? That's as well
what the other files of src/common are doing, so it would make the new
code more consistent with the rest.

Except those two small things, well I guess that's it for this patch.
The stuff for write_stderr may need a TODO item, but I think that even
with that we are going to finish by fixing the call to isatty that
looks indeed strange...

For the backpatching, the patches sent previously here (=>
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAEB4t-OHNE95=n5U4ySsYkWipQsWeQuTBSJkaYJ63_1VzkzkhA@mail.gmail.com)
are fine IMO. They simply consist of a copy of what is done in
initdb.c. Now, perhaps we had better apply the patch duplicating the
logic to all branches, including HEAD, first, see what the buildfarm
says, and then finish wrapping up the refactoring patch.
