It's not there, unfortunately. The above locate indicated as much, and
`cd /usr/local/bin;ls|grep initdb` returns nothing (as does simply ls and
searching through it by eye).
Similarly, that location doesn't contain initlocation, pg_controldata,
pg_ctl, pg_id, pg_resetxlog, postgres, or postmaster.
Thus . . . rehashing (which I did before I ran the locate anyway)
probably won't work.
