I think the contrib makefiles are considered to be our standard test
suite for PGXS.  If a 3rd-party makefile is doing anything not
represented in contrib, it's not guaranteed to work anyway.  So I'd
be plenty satisfied if we just made the existing contrib infrastructure
work for 3rd-party modules.
