Incidently, this reminds me of something I proposed late last year relating to easy installation of modules: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-09/msg00476.php To idea being that for most modules you only need a script to "install" it (declare functions and types). For these modules you can actually embed the script into the library itself. Thus, the installer only needs to be pointed to the shared object and it's done. If this installer tracked installed modules, you could use pg_depends to track what installed what and thus uninstall stuff afterwards. It might help pg_dump upgrades across versions. Anyway, it was just a thought and it didn't generate any comments at the time.
