Command-line options for other binaries in bin should also be changed
(eg: initdb's --xlogdir).

Looking at the other binaries in src/bin:

pg_archivecleanup - seems ok as-is (I'll note that it's Usage mentioned                   'OLDESTKEPTWALFILE' ...)
pg_basebackup - --xlog/--xlog-method/--xlogdir
pgbench - looks fine
pg_config - looks fine
pg_controldata - looks fine
pg_ctl - looks fine
pgevent - DLL, not a binary, looks ok
pg_rewind - looks fine
pg_test_fsync - looks fine
pg_test_timing - looks fine
pg_upgrade - looks fine
psql - looks fine

Hm..?  That function is just a local function in pg_rewind.  I'd be kind
of surprised if we actually had anything in libpq that needed changing
due to this and I don't see anything there in a quick look.

No, I don't think that'll be necessary.

Thanks!
