In the interest of uniformity, please rename your libraries to omit the 
"lib" prefix.

The other problem I see emerging here is that in certain environments, 
the "java" language may not be trusted, such as when it is compiled 
with GCJ.  Then, this built-in template will override the CREATE 
LANGUAGE specification and introduce a security hole.
