Andrew,
A nicer idea would be something like a utility could we ship that

download, build and install module foo for you. Then we could publish

many modules on pgfoundry, their authors could look after them, and
installing them would be trivial. pgxs should make such a thing a lot
simpler in many cases.
Of course, building it would be quite a bit of work :-)
Yeah, just ask the Perl folks. I believe that CPAN took about 4 years
to get working.
They were kinda blazing a trail.
I don't think Ruby Gems took anything like that long to flesh out.
I agree with most of what Martijn said elsewhere. We shouldn't try to
overengineer something like this.
cheers
