There is www.pgfoundry.org and there is the built in contrib. The built
in contrib has the items such as pgcrypto.

The language doesn't :), PostgreSQL does. Unlike something like Perl (or
plPerl), something like replace() uses the PostgreSQL function replace()
not a language function. See here:

You can call anything in the above link from plpgsql, directly.
