Shouldn't pg_resetxlog and pg_controldata be brought into the main tree?
They are admin utilities which seem to be done in a style which would
fit in.

Or is there another strategy for providing these capabilities coming
Real Soon which would make these obsolete?

It does look like pg_resetxlog needs to be fixed up, but only if
controldata is lost as well as the WAL files. How dicy is it to guess at
a proper controldata file? Seems that the locale settings etc are not
reliably guessable from just the environment (no, there is no analogy
with the other current Hot Topic ;)
