when installing from the pg_installer
(http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org) it let you to install
contrib modules just selecting them (and easy way to do it... so they
appear to newbies as just other options in the server, and not as
contrib modules), also it defaults to install plpgsql in template1 and
let you install and activate (i don't know what it refers with
'activate') postgis and pl/java when selecting options for the
server...

it also install some pgadmin support functions by default...

just ignore warnings works for me because i don't use most of these
things, and for plpgsql i create it by hand in linux before run the
script generated by pg_dump
