Hi,after long time I see the /contrib tree and I have I small notes.
- (IMHO) is good evidently that all executable programs stored here use   prefix 'pg_', but with the exception:
  vacuumlo  pgbench    (instead pg_bench)  oid2name  ipc_check  fti[.pl]  findoidjoins 
  What rename it? After 7.1 output it will late, bacause users integrate  these stuffs to their programs/scripts. -
everythingin the contrib tree has 'uninstall', with the   exception contrib/rserv
 
- every "WANTED_DIRS" has Makefile and is possible install it,   What contrib/start-scripts, contrib/tools and
contrib/retepare?
 
  I mean user after 'make install' look at $(libdir)/contrib and not  walk in sources and search what is/isn't
installed...
In future ... please ignore patches those ignore the /contrib's practice 
-- the trouble is overhaul the contrib tree during each version.

ThanksKarel
