I think it's better that they end up installed in
PREFIX/include/server/fe_utils rather than not installed at all, which
is what would happen, unless you were to create a tailored command in
make install. For instance we have the ones for src/common in
PREFIX/include/server/common, which I suppose is useful for extensions
(we do install libpgcommon.a, which would be messy to use otherwise.)
