We'll have to settle for just listing the extensions' data types,
since function arguments seem to sort differently in different locales.
Per buildfarm results.
When we implemented extensions, we made findDependentObjects() treat
EXTENSION dependency links similarly to INTERNAL links. However, that
logic contained an implicit assumption that an object could have at most
one INTERNAL dependency, so it did not work correctly for objects having
both INTERNAL and DEPENDENCY links. This led to failure to drop some
extension member objects when dropping the extension. Furthermore, we'd
never actually exercised the case of recursing to an internally-referenced
(owning) object from anything other than a NORMAL dependency, and it turns
out that passing the incoming dependency's flags to the owning object is
the Wrong Thing. This led to sometimes dropping a whole extension silently
when we should have rejected the drop command for lack of CASCADE.
Since we obviously were under-testing extension drop scenarios, add some
regression test cases. Unfortunately, such test cases require some
extensions (duh), so we can't test for problems in the core regression
tests. I chose to add them to the earthdistance contrib module, which is
a good test case because it has a dependency on the cube contrib module.
Back-patch to 9.1. Arguably these are pre-existing bugs in INTERNAL
dependency handling, but since it appears that the cases can never arise
pre-9.1, I'll refrain from back-patching the logic changes further than
that.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.

points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a
specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The
new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old
earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A
regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README
file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There
are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers.

left a reference to cube in a comment in the regression test (that also
shows up in the expected output). This doesn't cause any real problem,
but people who read the comment might be confused. Attached is a diff to
remove the reference.

Create objects in public schema.
Make spacing/capitalization consistent.
Remove transaction block use for object creation.
Remove unneeded function GRANTs.
