In short, I don't think just setting extensions_path is enough or

Isn't that the existing EXTRA_INSTALL?

No. The problem is that "make check" doesn't work extensions built
outside the server source tree. You get an error:

"make check" is not supported.
Do "make install", then "make installcheck" instead.

I would love it if make check worked. make installcheck adds extra effort to extension develoopment, not to mention leaving your actual install in a less than pristine state.

Possibly related to this... I'd also like to have other options for running unit tests, besides pg_regress. I looked at it briefly and the big PITA about doing it was having to manage the temporary database (and ideally temporary cluster). If standing those up was separated from pg_regress it would make it a lot easier for someone to customize how testing works under PGXS.
