Thanks. One more item. The check_guc script currently outputs 68 false
positives - even though it includes a list of 20 exceptions. This is not
useful.

$ (cd ./src/backend/utils/misc/; ./check_guc) |wc -l
68

With the attached:

$ (cd ./src/backend/utils/misc/; ./check_guc)
config_file seems to be missing from postgresql.conf.sample

That has a defacto exception for the "include" directive, which seems
reasonable.

This requires GNU awk. I'm not sure if that's a limitation of any
significance.
