Hmm.  The scripts actually depend on both pltcl and Pgtcl, so just
pushing them out to the Pgtcl package wouldn't really improve matters.
I think it's fine to leave them where they are ... though we should
document the dependency.

Actually it looks like it's been a very long time since these scripts
got any love anyway.  There's no reason anymore to split modules into
multiple rows (not since TOAST...) and they're not schema-safe either.
Anybody feel like cleaning them up?  Or should we leave 'em as-is
for compatibility reasons?
        regards, tom lane
