If doing <option>--check</> with a running old server of a pre-9.1 version,
and the old server is using a Unix-domain socket directory that is
different from the default built into the new <productname>PostgreSQL</>
installation, set <envar>PGHOST</> to point to the socket location of the
old server. (This is not relevant on Windows.)
If using a pre-9.1 old server that is using a non-default Unix-domain
socket directory or a default that differs from the default of the
new cluster, set <envar>PGHOST</> to point to the old server's socket
location. (This is not relevant on Windows.)
