Missing CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $OSX_ARCH" added.

pgAdmin make system is VPATH enabled.
My build script 'build-debug.sh' works as expected:

#!/bin/sh
set -v
set -e

rm -rf debug
mkdir debug

cd pgadmin3
bash bootstrap

cd ./pgadmin
./ver_svn.sh
cd ../../debug

export CXXFLAGS="-gdwarf-2 -g3"
../pgadmin3/configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgadmin3-debug
--enable-debug --enable-databasedesigner --srcdir=../pgadmin3

exit 0

xtra/pg_scanners/Makefile.am is now simplified.

I am linux only man !

Name is optional, but folder name is xtra/pg_scanners/ which means the
place for more than one.
I like "92".

xtra/pg_scanners/README added.
Please Dave, take look for some English error or bad terms. Thanks.
