This is true today, but only because PostgreSQL provides the infrastructure for building and installing extensions that
entails`make && make install`. If Postgres provided some other method of building and installing extensions, you could
startusing it right away on PGXN. The *only* requirement for PGXN distributions, really, is a META.json file describing
theextension.
