postgresql/contrib/README
Marc G. Fournier eec4c7366f From: Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>
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.
