Extension does not support VPATH at 100% (well, pgxs.mk).
There is a minor hack for some REGRESS files but that's all.

I think at least DOCS, DATA and REGRESS needs some addition on pgxs.mk to help
extension author allows build out-of-tree (postgresql been built out or not).

I'll work on a patch for that.
