I don't think those files need to move. As I said in another post, they
are postgres writable and should in the PostgreSQL data directory.
However, I suppose, that those also could be configuration parameters? No?
PG_VERSION obviously should not move.
postmaster.opts gets created when postmaster is run, correct?
The only issue would be the PID file, and I don't have strong feelings
about it, except that using a /var/run system will make running multiple
postmasters a pain.
