Meh. Local System accounts are used only by services (see comments of
pgwin32_is_service), so I'd expect pgwin32_is_service() to return true
in this case, contrary to what your v5 is doing. v4 is doing it better
I think at quick glance.
Here are the diffs between your v4 and v5 of this refactoring btw for
people wondering:

Not relying on the fact that local system accounts are only used by
services looks bad to me.
