Well, whatever you put in the template is what will be in the probin
field of the support functions. I suppose it does not *have* to use
$libdir, but I would definitely recommend using $libdir rather than
depending on dynamic_library_path.

Not if you use the template facility, they won't. The handler and
validator are hard-wired to live in pg_catalog under this scheme.

Do you want to drop in a stub? It's only a one-line function.
