As I said there: "to see how the libraries are configured, for example."
Just the other day I wanted to know what compilation options had been
used for a particular installation. pg_config wasn't installed because
the -devel package wasn't installed, and it would have saved me quite
some time if pg_config had been available.
Another example is to find out what the installation is using for
shares, the service directory and so on.
