Hmm ... so the real issue is that pgxs sees the installation directory
as named differently from what it was named during backend build.  OK,
that makes this behavior a problem, considering that we nominally
support being able to relocate installations.  Not sure what to do
about it though.  Perhaps pgxs should be interrogating pg_config for
the various path names instead of assuming it can recompute them?
