Here is a tar file the new directories, which substitute the old ones
in contrib. Please remove the old directories array, datetime, miscutil,
string and userlock before unpacking the tar file in contrib.
Note that as the modules are now installed in lib/modules I install all
my sql code in lib/sql. In my opinion also the other contributors should
follow these rules.
test isn't that complete up to now, but I think it shows

The Makefile assumes it is located in a directory under
pgsql/src/pl. Since it includes Makefile.global and
Makefile.port and doesn't use any own compiler/linker calls,
it should build on most of our supported platforms (I only
tested under Linux up to now). It requires flex and bison I
think. Maybe we should ship prepared gram.c etc. like for the
main parser too?

poor English. Here is a draft of README about contrib directory:
