This is a patch which allows pg_ctl to make an intelligent
guess as to the proper port when running 'psql -l' to
determine if the database has started up (the -w flag).

The environment variable PGPORT is used. If that is not found,
it checks if a specific port has been set inside the postgresql.conf
file. If it is has not, it uses the port that Postgres was
compiled with.

Seems reasonable ... but you forgot to update the pg_ctl manual page.

I looked that over, but could not really see where any addition was
needed, as the -w flag is given a fairly cursory mention. Suggestions
welcome of course. :)

The dependency on PGPORT should be mentioned under Environment,
for one thing. But really the problem here is that there's no
discussion of pg_ctl's use of psql for watching postmaster startup,
other than the *very* cursory mention under Notes. That should be
expanded, IMHO, because it's the source of most problems with pg_ctl.
