    Doc: improve libpq service-file docs, avoid overspecifying pathnames. · ba356a39
    Tom Lane authored
    Clarify libpq.sgml's description of service file locations and
    semantics.  Avoid use of backtick'ed pg_config calls to describe
    paths; that doesn't work on Windows, and even on Unix it's an
    idiom that not all readers may be instantly familiar with.
    
    Don't overspecify the locations of include files, instead writing
    only as much as you'd use in #include directives.  The previous text
    in these places was incorrect for some installations, depending on
    where "postgresql" is in the install path.
    
    Our convention for referencing the user's home directory seems
    to be "~", so change the one place that spelled it "$HOME".
    
    install-windows.sgml follows the platform convention of spelling
    file paths with "\", so change the one place that used "/".
