Vadim has something very similar to this in the contrib/spi Makefile.
Would be a nice model to follow. I agree with your other comment about
the impression given by "contrib."
Contrib could stay the way it is, for independent contributions, then
have a new directory, "modules", for contributions that are integrated
into the postgres make.
Tonight I will finalize my patch for the char types removal and then
later in the week think more about this idea.

CREATE COMMAND would be a new one. Talk about extensibility! :)
