It's also quite possible to test extensions in the buildfarm using an
addon module, which is mostly boilerplate. Of course, that does require
that you're running a buildfarm member. Here's the code for the module
that tests the FileTextArray extension.
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/blob/master/PGBuild/Modules/FileTextArrayFDW.pm>

This and the RedisFDW are tested daily or more often, on machines I control.
