Another updated patch. Fixed bitrot, and addressed the privilege issue 
Fujii-san raised here: 
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4D380560.3040400@enterprisedb.com. 
I changed the privilege checks so that pg_start/stop_backup() functions 
require superuser privileges again, but not for a base backup via the 
replication protocol (replication privilege is needed to establish a 
replication connection to begin with).
