I tried to update the patch to address the comments you made.

I've updated the patch so it extends the "replication" startup parameter
to not only specify a boolean but also "database". In the latter case it
will connect to the database specified in "dbname".
As discussed downthread, this patch doesn't have an immediate advantage
for users until the changeset extraction patch itself is
applied. Whether or not it should be applied separately is unclear.
