Part of the problem solved:

CREATE AGGREGATE array_aggregate (basetype = anyelement, sfunc =
array_append, stype = anyarray, initcond = '{}');
SELECT id,array_aggregate(pathtype||'='||path) from new_table_paths group by id;

I.e. have a nice array of type=value pairs.

I have however failed to write a function which would take text[] and
return columns.  I tried using RETURN record type, but so far it does
not return
anything useful (just a parenthesis enclosed list of column values).

Any hints?
