After the recent role-capable catalog commit, initdb -W fails with
the following error:

initializing pg_authid ... ok
Enter new superuser password:
Enter it again:
setting password ... ok
initdb: The password file was not generated. Please report this problem.
initdb: removing contents of data directory "data"

I saw Tom's comment about many loose ends remaining -- is this one
of them?

Whoops, sorry about that, didn't know initdb had a -W option.
