Maybe an insane question, but why can postmaster just not "exec"
walreceiver?  I mean, because of windows, we already have that code
around, and then walreceiver could link directly to libpq and not have
to worry at all about linking all of postmaster backends to libpq...

But I do understand that's a radical change...
