Folks,

Please find attached a patch which tells about what the spiffy,

AFAIK contrib/pg_autovacuum in 8.0 also checked for XID wraparound (or 
at least its documentation claims that it does), so I don't see how this 
is new functionality.

I think somebody has complained in the past that "verb-ification" of
command names is not good style, so the  " ... and <command>VACUUM</>s
the whole ..." should not be used.  Maybe "... and executes
<command>VACUUM</> on the whole ..." is better?

Cleaned up:

        Also autovacuum now checks
        if the database is in danger of xid wraparound and
        vacuums the database if needed.
