Well, I assumed Tom was referring to placement in the source tree, i.e.
{prefix} is contrib/dblink, etc.

But this raises a good question in terms of where these files should be
installed. The README.xxx files all go to {install-prefix}/doc/contrib.
I experimented with changing the Makefile line:
   DOCS = README.dblink
to be:
   DOCS = README.dblink doc/*

Unfortunately the files from contrib/dblink/doc still wound up being
installed to {install-prefix}/doc/contrib, which would become a naming
collision hazard. Maybe they should go to
{install-prefix}/doc/contrib/xxx (where xxx is the name of each contrib
dir)?
