They are both listed at wiki
I know there are a lot of limitations....but OP message says "Even
something that is several hundred times slower is going to be faster
than merging the databases together. When I do this today, I have to
write a program (in perl or php) that accesses both databases and merges
it by hand."
Am I wrong that this is currently possible using FDW?
