Thanks so much!

Wouldn't it make sense to add a section to this page that describes the
contrib process?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/install-post.html

I had thought all of the installation options were set using configure.
A post installation step is fine but I think it needs to be documented
as such.
