Side question -- is it plRuby or PL/Ruby? We should be consistent. I
just noticed the top-level README file has all the wrong names -- what
is "pl/c" for starters? Or plPgsql? We've _never_ used those names.

Also some time ago I convinced you that the actual name for the PHP
stuff was PL/php and you agreed. Yet I see on the README the name
plPHP which manages to not get a single letter correctly capitalized!

I'll patch the README later, but consider this a call for future
consistency ... (I'd like to know what do we call "pl/c" though. It's
just C, right?)
