Postmaster options are evil, please put something in backend/utils/guc.c.
(This is not the fault of the patch submitter, since this interface is new
for 7.1, but that still doesn't mean we should subvert it.)

This would be a rather sharp instrument to offer to the world at large,
because the socket file is also a lock file, so you can't just get rid of
it.

If we were to offer that anyway, I'd opine that we reuse the -h option
(e.g., leading slash means Unix socket) rather than adding a -k option
everywhere.
