OK, I can see the tradeoff.    Hmmm ... this means that we need something in
the Release Notes, I would think:

-- Symlinking the PostgreSQL binaries may cause problems with PostgreSQL
locating libraries and files, due to changes to make moving Postgres
directories easier.   It is recommended that you use --exec-prefix when
compiling if you think you will need symlinks.
