The only other idea I can think of is to create a new pg_path.conf file.
It would have the same format as postgresql.conf, but contain
information about /data location, config file location, and perhaps
pg_xlog location.
The file would be created by special flags to initdb, and once created,
would have to be used instead of pgdata for postmaster startup.
