Is he probably saying "install such module *from* elsewhere"? Like
directly from the source directory of a module using something like
following:

cd /path/to/module-source
make USE_PGXS=1 PG_CONFIG=/path/to/pg_config
make USE_PGXS=1 PG_CONFIG=/path/to/pg_config install

When user does not work with pg source directly and does not have
postgresql-contrib installed?
Am I missing something here?
