      Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql. · 458857cc
      Tom Lane authored
      We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
      files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql.  Not only does
      that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
      and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
      objects not an extension.  To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
      line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
      and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
      That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
      file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
      do it differently now.
      
      Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's.  Back-patch into 9.1
      ... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.

      Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility. · 629b3af2

      This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
      "foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK.  But it's time to get some
      buildfarm cycles on it.
      
      sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
      require a very nonstandard installation process.
