Can you please provide the quotation? I see there PGXS mentioned several times
as "a build infrastructure for extensions" and as an environment variable it
is mentioned only in code sample


PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs)
include $(PGXS)

So for me there is no explanation. Or it is hard to find (that is also bad)

If we are done with your patch, can we still finish this line of discussion in
order to create another small patch concerning PGXS-env-var comment?
