Ok. I will commit patches and will continue to work on below.

No, but seems an idea. There are few things I need to think about:

1) There are three pgbench's default behaviors: TPC-B like(default),  -N and -S. So we need three scripts.

2) it requires a location where those scripts reside. $prefix/etc  seems appropriate?

How do you assign different scripts to different clients?
