I think that one of the last point raised (by Andres) was if the
Makefiles in src/bin should depend on pgxs.mk or not. FWIW, I think as
well that it should be a subsequent patch not related to this one as
it is a different debate to have stuff of src/bin depend on contrib
infrastructure.

Now, the pushing plan was to have the stuff of pg_upgrade done in a
separate commit. Note that I am fine helping out wrapping up things
particularly on Windows if that helps.

That's a point.
