vacuumdb can't be canceled

Control-C works here. What platform are you on? Can you reproduce it?

I just tried:

psql -c 'select * from pg_class, pg_proc' test

and control-C terminated the query.

Vacuumdb command can't be canceled by Control-C and VACUUM is still running.
When wrong database name is specified to vacuumdb, cancellation is required to
stop VACUUM FULL which runs long.

Option -c of psql forget to set signal handler for 7.3 or prior. Vacuumdb
have no signal handler of cancellation for 7.4devel.
