Hmm, the makefile rule I added copies the plpgsql.h file to
include/server directory when you do "make install". That makes the file
available when you build with USE_PGXS=1, without access to the source
tree, but doesn't change the situation when you build inside contrib.

If you plop the module directly to contrib, I guess you'll have to do

CFLAGS += -I$(top_srcdir)/src/pl/plpgsql/src

That's what pldebugger has always done.
