We already have one: it's called the 'service manager' :).
The binary installer, which is mostly already done, will install the
service and run initdb. After that admins can use the usual methods to
start/stop the service. (net stop, etc.). Same for initdb.
If the service isn't running you can invoke pg_ctl or the postmaster
directly, just like in unix. If you didn't run the installer or elected
to install the service manually, this is done by invoking pg_ctl
register.

meh. In the long run it's probably better just to edit the .conf file
directly.
