Out of curisoity, does the !RSR! actually have some meaning? !RRS (requires
restart) or !RR or !RS (restart) all seem more straightforward.
More importantly, I think you need to mark all of the variables with the
special tag individually, as opposed to where, like in the kerberos settings,
you just say "all kerberose settings require restart". This is mainly
because...

I know some setups remove all commented options from the postgresql.conf, so
that only modified parameters are left inside the postgresql.conf. If they
want to change a setting, they add it into the conf. I think the theory is
that this is either more secure, since it would require more knowledge to
modify the postgres settings this way, or it is a nod to making
postgresql.conf more portable accross versions (by keeping a smaller subset
of changes its more likely they will work across versions) or in an effort to
make the postgresql.conf simpler (by removing a lot of variables that will
never be modified)... in any case it is a valid setup in 8.1, unfortunatly I
haven't had time to test your patch with CVS, but do you know if it can
support those types of configurations?
