more or less +1. We don't need two config files.; just one: postgresql.conf.
Just turn all recovery.conf parameters to GUCs. As already said, the
recovery.conf settings are not different from archive settings, we just need a
way to trigger the recovery. And that trigger could be pulled by a GUC
(standby_mode) or a file (say recovery -> recovery.done). Also, recovery.done
could be filled with recovery information just for DBA record. standby_mode
does not create any file, it just trigger the recovery (as it will be used
mainly for replication purposes).
