Your patch does not include fix for pgpool.conf.*.  (you said you are
going to make doc fixes. So far so good. but did not say anything
about pgpool.conf.*. I'm worrying about the fix for pgpool.conf.*
might be abandoned.)

BTW, if we go for this direction, it would be desirable to allow
multiple listen addresses for pcp as well.

Also you would want to consider allow to multiple unix socket
directories.

Committing to master branch is fine.
