if i uncomment event_source in a linux env i get this error:
"""
LOG: unrecognized configuration parameter "event_source" in file
"/usr/local/pgsql/9.2/data/postgresql.conf" line 326
FATAL: configuration file "/usr/local/pgsql/9.2/data/postgresql.conf"
contains errors
"""

this is because the definition of the GUC is inside an #ifdef, but the
error message is not very informative...
so, i tried to add a check_event_source (attached) and the error now
looks like this

"""
LOG: 22023: event_source can only be setted in windows builds
LOCATION: call_string_check_hook, guc.c:8172
FATAL: XX000: failed to initialize event_source to "PostgreSQL"
LOCATION: InitializeOneGUCOption, guc.c:3959
