4 added pgsql (PostgreSQL) handler, with vservers support.

10 documented .disabled method.
11 corrected VROOTDIR default value.
12 added ninjahelper to the install instructions.

23 now checks if "postgres" user exists on the host/vserver.
24 changes to ninjahelper
25 check_perms() does not die anymore on group/world readable
26 helper scripts (now consistent with the "helper scripts
27 must not be group or world writable!" error msg).
28 xedit action now tries $EDITOR, then /etc/alternatives/editor,
29 then nano, vim and vi, and aborts if none of these exists.
30 added helper for pgsql handler.

43 version 0.6 -- June 16 2005
44 ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or
45 slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method
46 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
47 ******************************************************************
48 NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
49 you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
50 ******************************************************************
51 implemented fix so that the main script will echo fatal errors rather
52 than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
53 if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)

68 sqldump doesn't need dbusername. (hotcopy still does).

83 results of handlers are now read line by line.
84 changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is
85 not necessarily days now (ie, it will pass straight through to
86 rdiff-backup if the keep has a unit on it, otherwise it adds the 'D').
87 added dup handler (still pretty beta)
88 added maildir handler (very specialized handler)
89 added --run option (runs the specified action file)
