No, nor I, but it makes sense if you consider an install into /usr/local vs. /usr/local/pgsql for example.

Hmm, that presents a possible problem as I can't see any way to restructure the layout based on the selected
installationpath in pgInstaller :-(. We should probably stick with the postgresql-already-in-the-path layout - no-one's
evercomplained, and that'll be the smallest issue for anyone porting code to win32. 

Fixing the perl code shouldn't be an issue of course.
