jumpstart - pgsql.v824

Hi Everyone,

Is there any way to trick an instance into starting when you just have base, global, pg_clog, pg_mulitxact, pg_subtrans, pg_tblspc, & pg_twophase, but no pg_xlog?

 We weren't backing up the pg_xlog, because we didn't think we needed it, but the backup_label seems to need it.  Even if we take the backup_label file out, and try to start postgres, it doesn't start.

I'm going to start experimenting and testing to see if I can trick it to starting, but if anyone has any insight that would help.  We noticed this on a test restore, so it wasn't a major problem, now we are backing up the pg_xlog files as well.
