BTW, initdb is no longer a script - some idiot rewrote it in C :-)

And it does have a switch for setting the superuser password:

-W
--pwprompt

    Makes initdb prompt for a password to give the database superuser.
    If you don't plan on using password authentication, this is not
    important. Otherwise you won't be able to use password
    authentication until you have a password set up.
