Only one minor suggestion:
+ Name of the event source for pg_ctl to use for event log. The
+ default is PostgreSQL.

From this description, it is not clear when the event log will be used
in pg_ctl. For example, if user uses -e option with register, then he
might expect any failure during register command will be logged into
eventlog, but that is not true. So I think we should improve the docs
to reflect the usage of -e.

On Linux, I am getting below build failure for pg_ctl

pg_ctl.c: In function ‘main’:
pg_ctl.c:2173: error: ‘event_source’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
pg_ctl.c:2173: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pg_ctl.c:2173: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[3]: *** [pg_ctl.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-pg_ctl-recurse] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-bin-recurse] Error 2
make: *** [all-src-recurse] Error 2

Thank you for reviewing and testing. I changed the doc, but I'd appreciate
it if you could improve my poor English and update the CommitFest if it can
be better.

I rebased the patch to HEAD and removed the compilation error on Linux. I
made event_source variable on all platforms like register_servicename,
although they are not necessary on non-Windows platforms.
