Not that I want to make each module a reference. With previous discussions we 
seemed to agree that:

- It should go into the References part of the documentation (right 
after "III. PostgreSQL Server Applications).
- Each module docs should be in a single page, mainly because some contrib 
modules have/require very little documentation.

So it seems that the only way of achieving both things is to make each contrib 
module a <refentry> inside a new <reference id="contrib">. I don't like this 
idea, among other things because dblink won't be abe to be treated as a 
<reference> which I think is appropiate in this case.

If you've got another solution for this, it'll be very welcome!
