Idle thought: maybe what would really make sense here is a "lint"

I like this idea.
postgres --check-hba-file /path/to/hba.conf
postgres --check-conf-file /path/to/postgresql.conf
(I think it's better to reuse the same postmaster executable, because
that way it's easier to have the same parsing routines.)
I'd go for just
postgres --check-config -D $PGDATA
(In a reload scenario, you'd edit the files in-place and then do this
before issuing SIGHUP.)

Doesn't it seem reasonable that it should be pg_ctl? You should never
run postgres directly unless it is for DR.
