I have faith in nothing historical regarding /contrib, which has been
largely characterized by maintenance neglect.

However, it sounds like waiting for something like Dimitri's package
manager is the way to go rather than messing with schemas without other
instruments in place. I'll just go through and replace the BEGIN ...
COMMITS in the SQL scripts, which Bruce admits he deleted without really
thinking about it.
