Peter seemed to be saying that nothing except postgres itself should be in *any* of the installation directories (he called them 'private' directories by which I imagine he meant an install in /usr/local/pgsql/ vs /usr/local, or more specifically the case when $libdir is something like /usr/lib/postgresql)
