Changing the default data location at this point would imho be a major hassle
for those actually using the default.
Thus I object to changing it.

The idea is to have the default configuration file location possible to change 
at configure time. If whoever compiles PostgreSQL does not specify different 
location, I guess /usr/local/pgsql/data will be the default location.

The "new" proposed configuration should be 100% backward compatible with
existing scripts.
