There Tom> are already some that are pretty shaky from this standpoint: I'm not suggesting that all modules should install a .h file or that all of a module's .h files should be installed. A slight snag in trying to use a subdir for each module is that there is not in fact anywhere in the existing makefiles that uses or assigns such a name.

Sure, but that's just copied from DATA and DOCS which already do it that way. For DATA there seems some justification based on CREATE EXTENSION, but for docs? -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad)
