Well, I don't know if it belongs in that chapter, but I have been unable to
find anything documented concerning the catalogues.  The other day someone
sent an email with a shell script that did a select onpg_database (which I
did not know existed).  It was really cool, because, he could get the list
of the database names, and insure that he truly backed _everything_ up.
Anyway, I would like to see that part of the postgres documented (if its not
already, and I have just not looked hard enough).

Thanks...james
