Folks,

Summary:  --with-pgport option does not update postgresql.conf
Severity: trivial
Version:  8.0rc1
Platform: SuSE Linux 9.2, Celeron 1800mhz laptop

Description:
On a lark, I tried compiling RC1 using --with-pgport=5480, since I'm
still using 7.4 on this machine as well.   Once I finished INITDB,
though, the generated postgresql.conf file still had:
#port = 5432

This could be quite confusing to DBAs who were not aware that PG had
been compiled with a different default.
