If you really want to make the problems with using contrib modules go
away, so they are a) installed even by lazy ISPs who just do
compile/make/make install, and b) not viewed as second-class citizens when
people have to ask them to be installed, this won't do it. You should
default to installing all the modules and provide configure options to
turn them off instead. All PostgreSQL installations should have them all
available (but not installed in the database, as you point out) unless
someone goes out of their way to circumvent that.
