We'd want an automatic append of the port number in postgresql.conf, and
an information in the registry so pgadmin3 can detect it.

IMHO it doesn't make sense to support different versions, but not
different clusters. initdb is *not* sufficient, the service information
has to be generated too and initdb doesn't know about that. For those
guys who need two clusters an installer option would be helpful. While I
don't really see what this is good for.. Former Oracle users might be
mislead, thinking they need it for multiple DBs.

Might be too late... let's see.
