Re: [COMMITTERS] pgsql: Append major version number and for libraries soname major

Anything the system doesn't pick up automatically. That means most new
build targets (but it will pick up a contrib automatically, and a
conversion proc, for example). Also if modifications are made to the
scripts that run (like gen_fmgr.sh).

Just adding new files to exisitng makefiles, or adding a new subdir that
adds more files to an existing target, should require no changes.
