Ok.

I don't think that's good enough. There's also the important mode where
it's not doing --create/--drop at all.

I don't like 'defined' here. 'replication connection unexpectedly is
database specific' or something would be better.
I do wonder whether --create/--drop aren't somewhat wierd for
pg_receivexlog. It's not that clear what it means. It'd be ugly, but we
could rename them --create-slot/drop-slot.
