The makefiles are very small, and it seems unnecessary for postgresql
modules to have to unpack pgsql source just to get them. Any other
postgresql module will need the same makefiles, although I can believe
there won't be that many. I think it's far preferable to install 6
small files than to have to unpack and configure another package to
build a package. Plus, the pgxs makefile is specified to be where I put
it by pg_config. Perhaps this is a bug in upstream postgresql, or
perhaps it's our fault, but it's easy to fix.
Are either of you on the postgis list? I've been posting there about
problems and didn't know any of you were working on this.
Filip: Unless Adam objects, I would be happy for you to commit your
patch and I'll then check the merge/conflict with mine and speak up if
there's any residual value.
I don't have support for multiple pg versions in my postgis package.
I'm happy to have you import yours and I'll then take a look.
