I'm picking up this patch now.  What I'm inclined to do about the -N
business is to commit without that, so that we get a round of testing
in the buildfarm and find out about any portability issues, but then
change to use -N after a week or so.  I agree that in the long run
we don't want regression tests to run with fsyncs by default.
