Hi Hackers,
The other day I was helping someone with pg_upgrade on IRC, and they got
a rather unhelpful error message:
ERROR: could not open version file /path/to/new/cluster/PG_VERSION
It would have saved some minutes of debugging time if that had included
the reason why the open failed, so here's a patch to do so.

- Twitter seems more influential [than blogs] in the 'gets reported in
the mainstream press' sense at least. - Matt McLeod
- That'd be because the content of a tweet is easier to condense down
to a mainstream media article. - Calle Dybedahl
