No, postmaster.opts is just showing what options have been passed to
postmatser. Using it to determine what options should be given next
time is the job of pg_ctl which I'm writing now, not
postmaster's. Speaking about pg_ctl, probably I will give it the
ability to override postmaster.opts options.
