It's easier to read the patches if you do separate changes in separate
patches.  Anyway, I'm a bit nervous about this hunk:

+ 		if (old_cluster.port == DEF_PGUPORT)
+ 			pg_log(PG_FATAL, "When checking a live old server, "
+ 				   "you must specify the old server's port number.\n");

Is the implication here that I'm now going to need to specify more
than 4 command-line options/environment variables for this to work?
