I'd say no. Executing processes from the installer environment can be a
headache (we've had enough problems with initdb already..). And you have
to go through all the weirdness with the commandline quoting etc on
win32... It's a lot easier to execute a SQL script line-by-line. Which
also lets us trap the errors easier etc.
