: CREATE LANGUAGE (command line utility 'createlang'). See the regression
: test shell script (src/test/regress/regress.sh) for an example using
: plpgsql. The PL's are not created and installed by default, apparently.

Thanks. I also had to create the handler function as per the
documentation for creating new procedural language interfaces.

Boy, the documentation sure read to me like all that was supposed to
be done automatically by the Makefile when configured for pltcl.

Not a big deal, but it wasn't clear to me this had to be done for each
database created. Is this a bug in the documentation?
