It's not safe on /bin/sh on Solaris, from the looks of it. (I
checked the manual page, as I don't have a solaris system handy.)
So we can revert this, switch the script to ksh, or find a more
portable way of figuring out a user's home directory.

Does pkgsrc port to machines without ksh? The ones I know of where ksh
is unlikely to be available (on standard installs) are FreeBSD and
Linux.

Anybody know of a better way to deal with this? Maybe "su -l pgsql
-c 'echo $HOME'"? Or are there problems with the -l option there?
I guess I could always just awk it out of /etc/passwd....
