I doubt it. People can always just read the file to see what settings
are in it, and it's not like nonexperts are going to have a variety of
different configurations that we're gonna have to ask them about.
(Even in the Unix world, pg_config is not really needed when most people
are installing one of a small number of RPM-type packages...)
