I just got wholly confused. Synaptic makes it appear that *contrib is a separate entity. And the source isn't in a
srcsubdirectory, but in the contrib directory directly. If I built PG on a regular basis, I might remember all this.
The xTuple folks only support a few PG releases, and with a specific set of modules built in. So, off to build it
again.
