Offering tuned config files

OK,

Here's a stab at some extra conf files. Feel free to shoot them down.

If we can come up with at least _some_ alternative files that we can put
somewhere for them to see when postgres is installed, then at least people
can see what variables will affect what...

I didn't see the point of a 'workstation' option, the default is fine for
that.
