As of 8.0 we attempt to determine the libdir, sharedir etc as relative
to the location of the executable. So you can't just "cp" the PG
executables to somewhere else without also copying the associated
support files into parallel directories. I believe symlinking the
executables will work fine though (ie, we look through the symlink
before doing the relative-path calculation).
