I saw a that a patch was committed that exposed a configure switch for

Well, we certainly *could*, but what's the use-case really? The case
for varying BLCKSZ is marginal already, and I've seen none at all for
varying XLOG_BLCKSZ. Why do we need to make it easier than "edit
pg_config_manual.h"?
The use case I could see is for performance testing but I would concur
that it doesn't take much to modify pg_config_manual.h. In thinking
about it, this might actually be a foot gun. You have a new pg guy,
download source and think to himself..., "Hey I have a 4k block size as
formatted on my hard disk". Then all of a sudden they have an
incompatible PostgreSQL with everything else.
