       Print the location of locale support files.  (This will be an empty

      <para>
       Print the options that were given to the <filename>configure</filename>
       script when <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> was configured for building.
       This can be used to reproduce the identical configuration, or
       to find out with what options a binary package was built. (Note
       however that binary packages often contain vendor-specific custom
       patches.)  See also the examples below.
