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

+ now checks if "postgres" user exists on the host/vserver.

+ ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or
+ slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method

+ ******************************************************************
+ NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
+ you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
+ ******************************************************************
+ implemented fix so that the main script will echo fatal errors rather
+ than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
+ if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)
