 On test builds of beta4 on Ubuntu 11.10 with different packages and
 configure options, the extensions are not always automatically built.
 However, these can be manually built, by `cd`ing into `extensions` and
 `make`, `sudo make install`.

 `configure.ac` requires all of these to automatically include EXTENSIONS
 (in pseudo logic):
   >=91 AND xsltproc AND raster AND topology.

 http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/browser/trunk/configure.ac#L1053

 However there are certain exceptions that EXTENSIONS should be included,
 listed here:
  * topology is not required to build the postgis extension, so should be
 ignored; only raster is required
  * tagged releases include the three `doc/*_commets.sql` files, so
 `xsltproc` is not required

 Here is some suggested pseudo logic to add EXTENSIONS:
   >=91 AND raster AND
     (xsltproc OR
       (`doc/postgis_comments.sql` exists AND `doc/raster_comments.sql`
 exists AND `doc/topology_comments.sql` exists)
     )
