   It just occurred to me, while browsing through the last hacker's
digest, that OOB might be more trouble than it's worth.  What about
having the Postmaster listen on a second socket as an alternative?
Certain commands could be issued there, outside of the main connection
(possibly even via UDP) as one-shot deals (not requiring a persistent
connection) and the postmaster could pass the information on to the
appropriate backend in a nice, intrusive fashion. :)
