src/bin/scripts seems a bit of a misnomer now
With Peter's latest commit, there aren't any actual scripts left in
src/bin/scripts; only C programs. Does that bother anyone? I was
wondering about renaming to something like src/bin/misc. (Not that
that name seems very compelling either...)

We could call it tools or admintools.

How about just pulling them up a directory into src/bin?
If they were complex, each would have a subdirectory in src/bin, so it
seems reasonable to have individual files there.

Nah, I don't like that. All the programs are at the same level in the
src/bin tree, and I think it should stay that way.
Bruce's idea of calling it "tools" seems reasonable ... although there
might be some confusion because we also have a src/tools directory.
"admintools" seems a bit long to me, although I'd go along if other
people like it. Maybe just "admin"?

Does anyone care about contrib/reindexdb anymore?

I'd think it's still at least as useful as clusterdb. Why, are you
thinking of doing some work on it?

I would've found it handy, but didn't know about it and wrote my own in
Perl. Inside a transaction it drops the index then rebuilds it using what
it gets from pg_get_indexdef(), and it looks at the index files on disk
before and after to show disk space saved (or grown) per index and total.
I run it weekly in cron.
Is something like that of use to anyone else?

No, I just noticed that it escaped the C conversion...

I think something like this was either posted to the list, put on gborg,
or maybe hidden in contrib somewhere. I'd like a copy if you don't mind,
I currently use reindex regularly on my database but your script sounds
a little more informational.
