Did you notice the src/test/modules/test_extensions thingy? Supposedly
we do try pg_dump with custom extensions there.
Hmm. I think the issue I was having is that I wanted to test the extension handling in pg_dump's 'make check' run, but that's before any of those extension pieces are installed or tested.
However, perhaps I can test the pg_dump parts as part of the extension 'make check' runs instead. Will check it out.
Thanks!
