Now that a standby server can follow timeline switches through streaming

Is it possible to re-use walreceiver code from the backend?
I was thinking that it would actually be very useful to have the whole
replication functionality modularized and in a standalone binary that
could act as a replication proxy and WAL archiver that could run
without all the overhead of an entire PG instance
There's much sense in trying to extract that into a stand-along module.
src/bin/pg_basebackup/receivelog.c is about 1000 lines of code at the
moment, and it looks quite different from the corresponding code in the
backend, because it doesn't have all the backend infrastructure available.
