My take here is to way that in this case, the current (9.1) way to deal
with the situation is to have multiple extensions when you have multiple
shlibs. After all we know that multiple extensions from the same
Makefile works, thanks to contrib/spi (I mean extension/spi).

And we even have inter-extensions dependencies in 9.1, so that's
friendly enough I think.
