this script is setting PGBIN, PGDATA, and PGLOG before running pg_ctl,
so I am pretty sure its already in the target user. yes, indeed, SMF
has a service property "method_context/user astring postgres" which
specifies what user to run the start method as, so its looking like
changing the user is done -before- running this script.

what alternative methods would you suggest for getting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
etc setup ?
