plpgsql should probably stay where it is, since it has no special
outside dependencies, but the other three could be separated out.

I want them all in the same CVS basically to avoid any version skew
issues. They should always have the same branches and the same tags
as the core, for instance; and it seems hard to keep separate
repositories in sync that closely.

But packaging them as separately buildable tarballs that depend only
on the installed core fileset (headers + pgxs) seems a fine idea.
