I think that the base backup feature is more important than simple streaming
chunks of the WAL (SR already does this). Talking about the base backup over
libpq, it is something we should implement to fulfill people's desire that
claim an easy replication setup.

IIRC, Dimitri already coded a base backup over libpq tool [1] but it is
written in Python.
