pg_config doesn't currently seem to have an option to report the

Is there a case where a user would need anything from there?
the way wo do this in slony is with the following macro:
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for postgresql.conf.sample)
PGSHARE_POSSIBLE_LOCATIONS="${with_pgsharedir} /usr/local/pgsql/share /usr/local/share/postgresql /usr/share/postgresql /usr/local/share/pgsql /usr/share/pgsql /opt/local/pgsql/share /opt/pgsql/share
${PG_BINDIR}/../share
for i in $PGSHARE_POSSIBLE_LOCATIONS; do
if test -s "$i/postgresql.conf.sample" ; then
PG_SHAREDIR=$i/
break;
fi
done
if test -n "$PG_SHAREDIR" ; then
AC_MSG_RESULT(${PG_SHAREDIR}postgresql.conf.sample)
AC_DEFINE(PG_SHAREDIR_VERIFIED,1,[PostgreSQL sharedir])
else
AC_MSG_RESULT(not found)
AC_MSG_ERROR(
postgresql.conf.sample not found! Please specify the sharedir
with --with-pgsharedir=<dir>
)
fi
(where ${PG_BINDIR} is the result of: pg_config --bindir )
That's foul, and looks horribly fragile too. You have just provided what
seems to me a perfect use case.
