Is there a case for making Makefile/shell variables and defines we use
have less generic names? I know I encountered a problem on Windows when
doing initdb because it defines one of BINDIR/DATADIR (I forget which).
It took me ages to find out what was going on, and I fixed it by
prepending the variable (in this case a define) with "PG"
