It's actually nicer that it uses a version specific directory, IMO, since you 
can have two versions installed simultaneously for upgrade purposes.
I just create symlinks data/ and backups/ in /var/lib/pgsql to point to the 
dirs of the same names under the 9.3/ directory.

How did you deal with binaries and libraries, as well as third party apps like 
perl modules or php/apache modules?
