New port, containing all contrib stuff distributed with postgresql
From the README:
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities,
and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL
system, mainly because they address a limited audience or
are too experimental to be part of the main source tree.
This does not preclude their usefulness.
Each subdirectory contains a README file with information
about the module. Most items can be built with `gmake all'
and installed with `gmake install' in the usual fashion,
after you have run the `configure' script in the top-level
directory. Some directories supply new user-defined
functions, operators, or types. After you have installed
the files you need to register the new entities in the
database system by running the commands in the supplied
.sql file. For example,
$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about
this procedure.
