I don't mind if you make it always with the headers. We can easily
strip the first line when reading the file and people can easily strip
it piping the output through a filter before sorting it etc.
I am thinking that the headers would allow a output formatting utility
to do it in a way that is independent of the version, and avoid having
to run "pg_config --version" as well. As the values are all strings it
can blindly create a column for every header. The only fields that the
program need to know about (like name and group) are not likely to change.
No big deal though.
