Thanks Robert. I was thinking that "pg_resetxlog -l" would accept a WAL 
file name, instead of comma-separated tli, xlogid, segno arguments. The 
latter is a bit meaningless now that we don't use the xlogid+segno 
combination anywhere else. Alvaro pointed out that pg_upgrade was broken 
by the change in pg_resetxlog -n output - I changed that too to print 
the "First log segment after reset" information as a WAL file name, 
instead of logid+segno. Another option would be to print the 64-bit 
segment number, but I think that's worse, because the 64-bit 	segment 
number is harder to associate with a physical WAL file.

So I think we should change pg_resetxlog -l option to take a WAL file 
name as argument, and fix pg_upgrade accordingly.
