9243664dd4 This patch updates pg_autovacuum in several ways:
* A few bug fixes
* fixes solaris compile and crash issue
* decouple vacuum analyze and analyze thresholds
* detach from tty (dameonize)
* improved logging layout
* more conservative default configuration
* improved, expanded and updated README

please apply and 1st convenience, or before code freeze which ever comes
first :-)

At this point I think I have brought pg_autovacuum and its client side
design as far as I think it should go.  It works, keeping file sizes in
check, helps performance and give the administrator a fair amount
flexibility in configuring it.

Next up is to do the FSM based design that is integrated into the back
end.

p.s. Thanks to Christopher Browne for his help.

bd18c50ba8 I have updated my pg_autovacuum program (formerly pg_avd, the name
changed as per discussion on the patches list).

This version should be a good bit better.  It addresses all the issues
pointed out by Neil Conway. Vacuum and Analyze are now handled
separately.  It now monitors for xid wraparound.  The number of database
connections and queries has been significantly reduced compared the
previous version.  I have moved it from bin to contrib.  More detail on
the changes are in the TODO file.

I have not tested the xid wraparound code as I have to let my AthlonXP
1600 run select 1 in a tight loop for approx. two days in order to
perform the required 500,000,000 xacts.
