Oh? Have you fixed *every* place that constrains the length limit of
an XLOG-derived file name? Just making XLogDir dynamically allocated
will not improve matters, but IMHO make 'em worse because failures will
occur on-the-fly instead of at startup.

In general I think that removing MAX_PG_PATH limits is a rather
pointless exercise --- no one has yet complained that MAX_PG_PATH is too
small.
