report non-admin privileges

Background: a user asked about how to get wine to report not running as admin
in #winehackers, for postgresql

After winetricks wsh57 to work around bug 35966, the installer mostly works. At
the end the install, it tells you there was a problem starting the database.
Looking at its log, I see:
creating template1 database in C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.3/data/base/1 ...
Execution of PostgreSQL by a user with administrative permissions is not
permitted.
The server must be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent
possible system security compromises.  See the documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.
child process exited with exit code 1
initdb: removing contents of data directory "C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/9.3/data"

Called Die(Failed to initialise the database cluster with initdb)...
Failed to initialise the database cluster with initdb

Vincent offered the user a suggestion on how to avoid it, I'll attach that
patch. With that patch, the non-admin error goes away, and I get a cmd problem.
