Re: RFC: Additional Directory for Extensions

Committed that, thanks.

Buildfarm member snakefly doesn't like this too much.  Since no other
animals have failed, I guess it must be about local conditions on
that machine, but the report is pretty opaque:

[06:43:53] t/001_extension_control_path.pl .. 
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
Failed 2/5 subtests

Looking at the test, it presupposes that "amcheck" must be an
available extension.  I do not see anything that guarantees
that that's so, though.  It'd fail if contrib hasn't been
installed.  Is there a reason to use "amcheck" rather than
something more certainly available, like "plpgsql"?

I think something else must be going on. The failure in question came after the step "install-contrib" succeeded, and the log file for that shows:

(wondering if this another of these cases where the "path includes postgres" thing bites us, and we're looking in the wrong place)
