Magnus, Kevin:

Two things:

1) pg_receivexlog doesn't help for users who need to archive from the
master to cold storage (e.g. remote SAN, S3, whatever).  So we're going
to still need an archive_command.

2) One reason users are using the "test -f" version of the archive
command is that we put it in the same postgresql.conf.  I would suggest
that we don't put *any* archive command in the sample postgresql.conf,
since there is no command we can supply which isn't a potential foot-gun.
