Yeah, we do that in pgAdmin. In the installer though we have far more
executables and libraries in various locations, and scripting the
required changes (without hardcoding for specific filenames which is a
recipe for future bugs) will be much more tricky.

The other downside is that I won't be able to set the library install
name correctly of course. I'll have to change that to just the
filename.
