I would be tempted to have one flag called, say, --build-env which has all the interesting settings from the build environment in one hit.

The one-flag way would be human readable but not program friendly.

OTOH there's nothing saying we can't do both.

Actually, I now remember having also wished for a "pg_config --all"
switch that would dump out everything the program knows.  The existing
UI makes you ask pretty-please for each tidbit, and that gets old fast.
Would --all serve what you had in mind, or do you specifically want
--build-env?



--all would be fine. In fact, why not make it the default? This has always struck me as a bit lame:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] inst]$ bin/pg_config
pg_config: argument required

Try "pg_config --help" for more information
[EMAIL PROTECTED] inst]$
