I've just built 7.1 from a slightly old point in the tree:
October 9.  Regression tests pass, but postmaster won't
start.

I'm getting a complaint from pg_ctl that it cannot find
postmaster.opts.default.

What am I missing?

touch postmaster.opts.default in the directory pg_ctl complains about.

An empty file works fine.

The postmaster.opts.default file. :-)

Seriously, I'm thinking this check is not necessary, a missing file
should be treated like an empty file.  Objections?
