The string-hacking was fully as tedious as I expected. However, the
output looks pretty nice, and this does have the advantage that the
pre-programmed substitutions become a lot more robust: they are no
longer dependent on the initdb code exactly matching what is in
postgresql.conf.sample.
This patch looks good to me. It's a very nice simplification of the
initdb.c code, even without the new feature.
I found that the addition of
#include <ctype.h>
didn't appear to be necessary. Maybe it was required before
guc_value_requires_quotes() was changed?
I would remove the
#if DEF_PGPORT != 5432
This was in the previous code too, but now if we remove it, then we
don't have any more hardcoded 5432 left, which seems like a nice
improvement in cleanliness.
