Is there a case for making Makefile/shell variables and defines we use 
have less generic names? I know I encountered a problem on Windows when 
doing initdb because it defines one of BINDIR/DATADIR (I forget which). 
It took me ages to find out what was going on, and I fixed it by 
prepending the variable (in this case a define) with "PG"
