It's hard to see ISPs who won't install contrib from installing
${random module} from the big bad internet as has been discussed in
this thread, but who knows?

If we go with a solution that allows users to say "install mymodule;"
or whatever into their own database, is there any reason not to
install (as in make install) all modules currently called contrib by
default? Are there any security issues with modules in there? I seem
to remember something coming up involving dblink a while back...
