He didn't make his opinion exactly clear, except that the underscores are
a sign of the coming apocalypse. (If you ask Marc, he can probably give
you an alternate theory here...)

I suppose that would subtract another half vote from the underscore
option. With Bruce's defection and my own change of mind we now stand at

0 pgblah
3 1/2 pg_blah (Bruce, Sergio K, Dmitry S, -1/2 Thomas, myself)
1/2 pgadddb (Marc)
1 1/2 as is (Thomas, Vince)
1 none (Marc)

Hmm, I guess that does it. pg_createdb and symlinks for one release with
warnings for deprecated forms.

Perhaps we should really change the installation instructions to not make
mention of the scripts, though, to enforce proper learning. But you were
working on that anyway, right?
