I just noticed that pg_xlogdump uses an underscore in the file name,
pg_xlogdump.sgml, unlike every other extension.  Should this be fixed?

I did mess about with hyphens vs. underscores vs. nothing at all.  Most
seem to use no char, so "pgrowlocks.sgml" for example, but that
convention seemed ugly for filenames so I went with the underscore.
Note that the SGML ID does not have anything, so the URL is similar to
others:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/pgxlogdump.html

We do have other files that use underscores, anyway.

Well, we have only four:

	generate_history.pl  information_schema.sgml  mk_feature_tables.pl 
	pg_xlogdump.sgml

Two are Perl scripts.  I agree the lack of an underscore makes it look
ugly, but if we are going to improve it, I think we should all of them
or none of them.

There are lots more in ref/ though.

I think renaming the whole bunch of old files is out of the question.  I
am not opposed to renaming the new file if you think it's worth it.
