pgxs on darwin is currently broken. The behavior before was to use
-bundle_loader with a bogus directory that didn't exist. It should be
using $(DESTDIR)$(bindir) instead of something based off of $(topdir),
which appears to not be set correctly either (but that's a different
problem).

Which is correct. Can someone please get this into the 8.X release
that way pgxs is usable for folks on the darwin platform? It doesn't
look like this is broken on other major OSes, but some of the oddball
platforms (BeOS, cygwin, and win32) don't seem to be correct either.
I've included a fixes for them in this patch, but can't promise they'll
work. At the very least what I'm supplying is more correct than what
they're using now. :-/ It looks like pgxs on the platforms in
question has an assumption that pgxs gets called from within the
PostgreSQL src tree, which isn't correct after the fact. Thanks. The
darwin patch is included below. Thanks in advance. -sc
