PostgreSQL pollutes the file system with lots of binaries that it is
not obvious that they belong to PostgreSQL.

Such as "/usr/bin/createdb", etc.

It would be better if these files were renamed to be prefixed with
pg_, such as pg_createdb.
Or even better postgresql-createdb then be reachable by through a
"postgresql" wrapper script.
