I like both ideas. I'd like to propose that we get back to this part of
the feature later, after the first patch is in. After all, the main goal
is to support dump&restore of extensions. Let's do that first.

If some of you are interested, the development happens here:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql-extension.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/extension

I've written some basic documentation in the "Extending SQL"
chapter (and command man pages too). There's not so much to tell about
the new features, as the goal is for it to fix something quite basic.
