Well. This code was introduced in a00c58314745, with discussion at
http://postgr.es/m/CAHeEsBeAe1FeBypT3E8R1ZVZU0e8xv3A-7BHg6bEOi=jZny2Uw@mail.gmail.com
which did not touch on the point of the pg_ctl path being relative or
absolute. The previous decision to use relative seems to have been made
here in commit ee814b4511ec, which was backed by this discussion
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/200411020134.52513.peter_e%40gmx.net
So I'm not sure that anybody would love me if I change it again to
absolute.
