We currently don't have any way of providing for settings other than via
the configure script options. We could in theory make provision for
adding stuff to pg_config_manual.h, although it would be a bit more
difficult in the vpath (I guess for vpath we could just blow that file
away along with the files bison, flex etc. lob in the repo).
So the question is: is such a facility likely to be of value? It would
probably involve just a handful of lines of code.
