Greetings -hackers,

Enclosed is a patch that implements CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS (along with
the same support for USER/GROUP). This is a fairly straightforward
approach in that we do no validation of anything other than existence, with
the user needing to ensure that permissions/grants are set up in the proper
way.

Comments?

Best,

David
