Make the whole thing configurable and anyone should be happy.

--pg_admin_script_prefix={pg_|pg|*empty*|*whatever_you_prefer*}
--pg_admin_script_install={yes|no}

It's not a joke. Someone might want to have his user account
to have access to his production and test DB at the same
time. So he could setup his PATH to both installations bin
directories and configure the test DB to use a different
default PGPORT and different script prefixes. Then
pg_createdb would contact another postmaster than
devel_createdb would do. Well, the installed binaries like
psql would need some configurable prefix too then.
