I've read the patch, and the additions to streamutil.h and
streamutil.c make it kind of natural to have it sit in pg_basebackup/.
There's pg_recvlogical already there.  I am wondering about two
things, though:
- Should the subdirectory pg_basebackup be renamed into something more
generic at this point?  All these things are frontend tools that deal
in some way with the replication protocol to do their work.  Say
a replication_tools?
- And if it would be better to refactor some of the code generic to
all these streaming tools to fe_utils.  What makes streamutil.h a bit
less pluggable are all its extern variables to control the connection,
but perhaps that can be an advantage, as well, in some cases.
