I had a thought that on win32 pg_ctl start/stop would mean start/stop
the service (always) on win32, and for this to be the only way to start
the postmaster as a service. That neatly solves this problem and we can
boot the boot/kill here. It is still of course quite possible to invoke
the server directly in special cases.

This also fits nicely with Magnus's #2 scnario, I think.
