[HACKERS] uptime() for postmaster

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hi Bruce,
I started to work on the uptime() for the postmaster yesterday. A 
couple of questions:

a) is the name uptime() OK?
b) is the return-type 'Interval' OK?
c) does it make sense (... fit in the scheme?) to place the code here:
    src/backend/utils/misc/uptime.c
d) Can I piggy-back on 'BackendParameters' to get postmasters 
start-time to the backends?

happy new year,
Matthias
