If you're going to do that, do it in both places ... you missed
pgarch.c.
Also, I would say that the large block comment belongs with
make_native_path, not with its caller.

This text should probably be removed from postgresql.conf.sample
altogether; we are not in the habit of providing more than one-line
documentation there. I stuck it in there as a quick and dirty thing
because we didn't have archive_command in the SGML docs at the time.
But now we do, and I'd say this info should be moved to runtime.sgml.
