FYI: I found that this is not working on my own system either.
While symlinks are there in the build tree, they all become
real files when installed by PGXS, so the final effect
is that you just have ONE MORE FILE in the destination
(the *--ANY--* file).

I'm afraid the only way to fix this would be to override
the PGXS install rule, or use an hook to install things
outselves...
