No, because this has to work on the client side too.  The default path
*must* be determined at compile time, or clients and servers will be
unable to find each other.

I wouldn't object to having "/tmp" be given as a macro PG_STD_SOCKET_DIR
in config.h, making it potentially configurable on a site-wide basis,
but that's as far as I think we can go.
