I disagree *very* strongly. Given that the documentation on
pg_config.h was removed from the idocs and that Pater has made noises
about removing pg_config.h entirely, it is not a substitute for
command-line configure options.

If you can suggest a reasonable test, I will test this at 32, 64, 128
and 256 parameters to settle this issue.
