Hmm.

I have to say this is just one more place where the documentation is
simply impossible to understand. How you figured out from the links
above that this is what the properties mean, I would love to hear.

In the mean while, I'll just make both properties (INIT_LOCATION and
INIT_CATALOG) mean the same thing, and we'll document LOCATION as
deprecated. Let's get out there a version that sortof works, and deal
with the rest later.
