Okay, here is an updated and rebased patch that passes all regression
tests with and without EXEC_BACKEND. This also treats more of the
issues raised by Andres.

I still need to do the following:
- split giant patch out into separate functional commits
- add translated process descriptions
- fix some variable names here and there (notably the PgSubprocess
struct ".progname" member -- that's a misnomer.
- address some valgrind findings

I should be able to split this out into smaller commits sometime today
and will continue iterating to scratch the other items off the list.

Thanks,
