That sounds like a most interesting idea, and I'd suggest that it's not
"just for Windows" (much as pg_ctl runs everywhere).

Amongst the useful features would include:

 - Using the option that specifies a PID file, thereby meaning you have
   a clear way of getting at the PID

 - Having an option to indicate that config should be stored in a
   "slon.conf" file

 - Control over logging...
