Обсуждение: the contrib

Bruce add my pg_lodump to the contrib and now I see what happen in the 
current contrib --- here it is a little dirty (mazy Makefiles..etc).    

Well I start fix some bugs in this tree and I have a question:
How idea is for 'make install' in the contrib tree? For example
the 'findoidjoins' has directly set INSTALLDIR = /usr/local/pgsql. 
Comments?

Yes, contrib is pretty messy.  It'd be great to clean it up to have
uniform build/install conventions.

Another thing wrong with contrib is that there are a couple of
directories that are obsolete because the features got installed
in the main build (int8 for example).  But they were never cleaned
out of contrib.  There isn't anyone really maintaining contrib...

if I will a little time, I try clean it. Now I fix pg_lodump 
and findoidjoins.
