In particular, it's not terribly clear why the existing "smart" shutdown mode isn't sufficient.
I think OP is saying "we don't run the tests from a shell prompt, so can't run pg_ctl stop".
I think he might be able to, though, by having his IDE run a PowerShell command that runs "pg_ctl stop -wt9999", and also create an error trap that also runs that PS command.
