Yes it is, but it's in the data_directory. In general the postmaster
need not (and probably should not) have write permission where the
configure files are, so we're not going to be changing this.

pg_ctl hasn't been taught to parse the config file to find out where
data_directory is, so it really doesn't work with this layout yet.
Sorry.
