I think that's a bit excessive. I'd suggest three patches:

* the new utility functions (quote_literal, decode_bytea etc.) These
should be fairly uncontroversial, but account for a large part of
the patch volume.
* the code relating to library load, interpreter initialization and
termination
* the remainder (function naming, better error checking, enabling
use/require if a lib is already loaded, cleanup and optimization)

We could ask Tim to break up the last, but they are all fairly small
items, and I at least wouldn't be bothered by having them combined. And
having to handle 6 to 10 patches all hitting the same body of code
doesn't sound terrible pleasant either.
