Btw, this also avoids many trivial kind of conflicts... Which renames
generally are very prone to.

Rebased (fair amount of trivial conflicts due to the copyright year
bump) and attached as -MC style format-patch. If you look at the content
of the patches you can see that the diff makes more sense now.

Observations:
1) Are we sure it's a good idea to rely on pgxs.mk in src/bin programs?
2) I removed a stray 'port.c' and some whitespace as a fixup commit (git
rebase --autosquash ...) from the pg_upgrade_support commit
3) pg_upgrade tests didn't run due to a /src/ to much in the path to
pg_regress
4) I have doubts that it's ok to integrate the tests in src/bin just the
way they were done in contrib.
5) Doing the msvc support for all intermediate commits in a separate
commit strikes me as a bad idea. Essentially that makes the split
pretty pointless.
6) Similarly I'd much rather see the doc movement in the same commit as
the actually moved utility. Then we can start applying this one by one
on whatever we have agreement.
7) Are we sure that the authors in the affected contrib modules are ok
with their authorship notice being removed? I don't think Ants, Bruce
or Simon have a problem with that, but ...
8) Why did you remove Peter as the git author?

I've also pushed the git tree of these changes to
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=users/andresfreund/postgres.git;a=summary
branch move-contrib-bins-to-bin
