I wrote preliminary instructions here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/attachment/35205/fix-bokmal-pg_database.txt.
Another method is to use pg_upgrade. I'll need to format that for the
release notes, and add more explanation of what the issue is and who it
applies to.

Or perhaps it would be better to put those instructions on a wiki page,
so that we can easily add to it later if necessary?
