When I built and installed pgsql at work, on a production server,
I ran into the shared memory problem.  I wanted to fire pgsql up
*right* *away*, to begin testing and so-on, so I hacked the shell
script.

Early next morning I rebooted the server, with the shared memory
changes already configured.

So yes: I can see a certain limited set of conditions under which
doing such a thing might be useful.
