Comment (by robe):

 I feel most people are using extension installs, so I didn't want to spend
 too much time thinking about it. If enough people complain we can revisit
 at 2.4.

 So the way I have it now non-extension installs are never schema qualified
 -- so yes they could break, but I left that open so we could instead of
 stripping replace with an at install time solution.  That requires me
 fussing with configure which I really didn't want to spend time on.


 I suspect most users not using extensions are compiling their own in which
 case install time is fine for them.  If we wanted to go down the enabling
 script route though, then I think we'd end up with scripts much like the
 one I marked 'for_extension' and then the enabler would just replace the
 @extschema@ with whatever the user decides.

 That actually if you do it now then we wouldn't need two sets of scripts,
 but it would mean teaching non-extension folks yet another new way to
 install. :)
