Note that we can relatively easily put pg_config.exe under multiple
locations (in the tree - still in the bin directory, but install can be
triggered by different features). It just has to be made its own
component.
But I'm actually thinking we should perhaps put it as a base feature -
along with libpq, being installed as soon as you install any part at
all. Does that sound reasonable?
