I do think it would be an improvement to segregate things users are
expected to touch (*.conf and pg_log are what come to mind) from
everything else, which could easily be done by moving everything else to
an internal/ directory. I agree that's not much of an improvement for
pg_[cx]log, but we could create internal/ as well as rename some things.
