I personally find it quite ugly to use pgxs for stuff in
src/bin. pgxs.mk says:
# This file contains generic rules to build many kinds of simple
# extension modules. You only need to set a few variables and include
# this file, the rest will be done here.

I don't object at all to introducing more generic rules for src/bin, but
that seems like a separate task. And one that should be done right not
just use some convenient hack. And you can't tell me that
+NO_PGXS = 1
+include $(top_srcdir)/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk
isn't a hack...
