I would vote for renaming it.  I've run into the problem of getting
the wrong config.h file.  config.h is a fine name to use for a
standalone tool.  It's not particularly good for a library, and
Postgres does have a library component.

FYI, in BFD (the library used for gdb and the GNU binutils) we jump
through hoops to to generate a bfd.h file which is properly configured
but does not include a config.h file--see, e.g., BFD_ARCH_SIZE and
BFD_HOST_64BIT_LONG in /usr/include/bfd.h on Linux.
