Not sure I follow - dynamic_library_path is a colon-separated set of 
paths. How will somone using $libdir have that resolved? ISTM we need to 
have another GUC var which sets it, rather than have it compiled in and 
not able to be overridden. It's not really an initdb-time thing either - 
it's an install-time thing - so the installer could add the right path 
to postgresql.conf.sample. Of course, if people move directories around 
after installation they are asking to shoot themselves in the foot, but 
that's true now anyway.
