Why not?

The search path is defined in postgresql.conf (and I see Peter forgot
to add an example to the postgresql.conf.sample file), but the default
is the backend-compile-time $libdir. Offhand I don't see what's wrong
with it.

AFAICT we do not depend on environment PGLIB any more. Configure-time
$libdir is what counts.

I think all you need to do is set up postgresql.conf that way.
