[pg_basebackup with -R option and start standby have problems with 
escaped password]

I replied to that now. Let's get that fixed before next beta.

[backend hangs at immediate shutdown]

The question here is do we want to take the risk and apply this, at this 
late stage? On a cursory look, I understand it well enough to have an 
opinion.

[fixing pg_ctl with relative paths]

Seems reasonable, and I think we should apply this now, to 9.3. The 
issue with embedded quotes is pretty scary though, maybe we should dig a 
bit deeper into that to get that fixed too.

I don't know ldap well enough to comment, but I think we should fix this 
now, in 9.3, if we want to do this at all.
