PgSQL not as Administrator - probs on windows

Hello,

starting with one of the recent nightly builds, PostgreSQL 7.5devel does 
not start any more if the user has Administrator privileges.

I know that this is for security and same as on Unix....


BUT:

it is MUCH MORE common to have Administrator-Privileges when running a 
Windows-System than when running Unix. BECAUSE a lot of programs DO NOT 
WORK if you do not have these privileges.

Especially home-users usually have their default user working as 
Administrator.

I recommend that we add an option to "do not check for Administrator, I 
know I do something dangerous" for windows; at least when starting 
Postgresql from the command line.
