OK, so:
1. Leave -X option in initdb. Remove all other -X options.
2. Remove all uses of PGXLOG.
3. Symlink from PGDATA to desired location.
4. Implement pg_mvxlog to move xlog if server is shut down. (So no one
needs to know about 3.)
In the future:
Combine pg_mvxlog, pg_controldata, pg_resetxlog into pg_srvadm.
Sounds good.
