I think there's a couple other patches that have the same effect (that is,
initdb is required to take care of them). I think people using the beta
should expect to re-build several times, anyway -- if they're not, they
shouldn't use beta software.
Also, this is basically a "documentation" bug, intended to make
postgresql.conf easier to understand, so even if some beta tester doesn't
load it, postgresql.conf still works ..
