ifthere isn't some better way to do the kinds of things that Daniele and I have resorted to to use a PostgreSQL version

Okay, thanks to the feedback from Daniele, and based on your advice, Tom, to maintain explicit migration scripts (at
leastfor now, might use Daniele's script later), I've got the Makefile down to just 25 lines, and other than setting
thename of the extension on the first line, it should just work for any other extension I care to distribute using the
samefile layout.

Thanks again for the feedback. Will be polishing this stuff for my PGCon talk on packaging extensions for PGXN.
Best,
David
