I think if you spelled the subdir name "config" rather than "etc",
it would be more obvious what's what.

A further possibility is to move the runtime-changeable files
(postmaster.pid and postmaster.opts) into still another subdirectory,
but I'm not really in favor of that. I think there might be some
possibilities for cross-version confusion if we move the .pid interlock
file.
