One idea, which takes into account the thought that moving the admin commands
out of /usr/bin is a good thing, but moving them into /usr/sbin is bad, and
we want to keep it simple for new people.

Hows about the commands are stored in ~postgres (or whateber you are using
as an admin account). This is obviously configurable with --admin-dir in the
configure script.

This would probably work as:

a ) new admins that arent familiar with a system will likely have . in the
user paths, thus the commands will work

b ) experienced admins can just choose where to install things
