I've been focusing on the potentially simpler case of just relocating
the 'base' directory, so that I don't have to worry about whether
postmaster is finding my config files and such.

I was hoping the symlink would be a pretty transparent operation,
and it doesn't seem that other people have had difficulty doing similar
th ings.
