Subject: [PATCH] revise docs about make installing extensions to note that
 extensions are now installed by default if compiling against 9.1+.  Also
 provide an example query to run to verify extensions are installed.  THANKS
 pramsey -- now if we can only have a real tagged release that would be SWEET.
