Re: Configurable location for extension .control files

Postgres.app is the source of quite a lot of other pain too, though. One

of the bigger problems is that people want/need to link to its libpq
from client drivers like Ruby's Pg gem, but almost inevitably instead
link to libpq from Apple's ancient pre-installed PostgreSQL.

Without a solution to how to sanely share the client libraries I'm not
sure private-tree-packaged PostgreSQL is interesting enough to really
worry about making extensions easier to install.

After all, users can
currently just open Postgres.app as a folder and drop the exts in there,
or use PGXS and "make install", just like usual.
