It turns out that Postgres is totally naive about external modules
that happen to have the same name as contrib modules. I think that I
have no choice but to create a new extension name -- "amcheck-next",
say. This can have extension version numbers that begin at 1.0.
Without this, the control file of the external version simply
overwrites the contrib version as part of "make install". That's
clearly not okay.
