There is currently some disagreement about whether every now procedural
language implementation should be included in the core distribution.  If
you choose to distribute your package separately, you can take a look at
http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/plsh.html as an example for how to
package it.

I think there is enough documentation about this already.  Creating a PL
handler is not a common task.  But if you have concrete points that you
would like to have mentioned somewhere, please tell us about them.
