I think we've been mostly in agreement, but I have a few quibbles or
clarifications to that:
(1) We're talking about a new /bin executable to do this which
could be referenced in an archive_command string or run from a
script called by archive_command, right?
(2) It should copy, not move, with protection against overwriting
an existing file.
(3) Maybe not in the initial version, but eventually it might be
nice to support URLs of some known protocols in addition to local
(4) Maybe not in the initial version, but eventually it might be
nice to support checking for an "owner" file of some sort in the
target directory, to help sort out problems with copied databases
writing to the same location as the source.
