+1

+           appendStringInfo(&errhint, "\"stderr\"");
+#ifdef HAVE_SYSLOG
+           appendStringInfo(&errhint, ", \"syslog\"");
+#endif
+#ifdef WIN32
+           appendStringInfo(&errhint, ", \"eventlog\"");
+#endif
+           appendStringInfo(&errhint, ", \"csvlog\", and \"jsonlog\"");

I think using appendStringInfoString() is a bit more natural and faster.
