Just to be clear, please note I don't think that what removing the
archiver code from the core code is a bad idea, quite the contrary
actually.  But I doubt that it would be acceptable to rip off this code
without something which has the same properties and guarantees for any
users depending on it.  And archive_command is used a lot.
