Well, I don't have any particular objection to adding pg_ prefixes
as alternate names for the existing scripts. However, it's not clear
what is the point unless we have the intention to remove the old names
at some time in the foreseeable future. And the consensus of the
previous thread on -patches seemed to be that nobody except Zdenek
was very eager to do that.

In any case, there is no value in discussing this further on -patches
since the readers of this list already weighed in. If you want to
make a decision then it needs to be made on -hackers or -general.
