I realized the patch has some difficulties -- namely the socket path in the data dir lock file, which currently uses
oneport for socket and the same for interface. So to allow users to use arbitrary port for all unix sockets, we'd need
toadd another line only for unix socket, which doesn't apply for other platforms. Or we could just say that the first
socketwill allways use the default port (PostPortNumber), which is a solution I prefer currently, but will be glad for
anyother opinion. This is also why there is still un-necesary string splitting in pg_ctl.c, which will be removed after
theissue above is solved.
