We first check if the extension is available (query on
pg_available_extensions). bUT I should probably add a check on the
CREATE EXTENSION query because it may fail (if you're not superuser for
example).

I've been thinking about it. I was wondering if we should have a
specific hint for 8.1 till 9.0 and another one for 9.1.

And one other issue: we may be connected to another database than the
postgres one. I should probably check that too.
