Why on earth are you not just creating your functions as a loadable C
module? Unless you are doing something strange there seems little need
for you to be taking the approach you are taking. The contrib directory
has some examples of how to do this. PostgreSQL is designed to be
extensible, but you are apparently ignoring the extensibility features.
