That's easily dealt with ;-) ... just rip out all those parts of the
diff.  I think all that needs to be done in the docs is to list the initdb
option in the pg_ctl reference page.

If you think it's code-complete, let's just commit the code and not
try to have a re-education project going on with the docs.
