[ shrug... ]  We don't report the compiled-in port number, which is
considerably more critical.  And we don't report changes in any of the
other stuff in pg_config_manual.h.

MHO is that changing the socket directory is only marginally supported,
and we shouldn't encourage it unless we're prepared to fully support it
(which we can't really).
