No, you misunderstand the process. The .control file is one of the
distributed files for an extension; the server has no ability to
create one.
What we both missed is that *passwordcheck is not an extension*.
It has no SQL-visible objects. It's just a shared library that
you must preload into the server, as per its documentation.
