This patch removes double-quotes from around the listen_addresses=%s part; I couldn't find a way of doing that. But then, the questions is, can the %s (hostname) have spaces embedded in it?

But, for some time now, a Windows' Administrator *can* run a postgres without having to create a normal user; he just has to use pg_ctl to do so. Thanks to code written by Magnus, pg_ctl gives up it's administrative privilges before starting the postmaster, and hence the postmaster runs without critical privileges.
So I thought that 'make check' could also make use of that functionality, and hence this patch.
Is this new pg_ctl behavior mentioned anywhere in the docs?
