It's explained in the installation instructions.
   

That doesn't happen on most platforms in the standard package.

Are you proposing that packagers create a postgresql-headers package and
depend on that?
If this is the suggested way of solving the headers portion of the
problem then lets tell the packagers.
 

As fas I am concerned, being a generalized programer, to program the 
serverside functionality
I would need a header file that should include nearly all the server 
side functionality and a lib,
presumably dynamically linkable lib file libpgserver.so.  We already 
have the interface library libpq.so
The server side header does not have to include everything.  It only 
needs to be the parts that the
user programer needs to manipulate (SPI?).

I see a great advantage to be able to plug in some information_managing 
algorithms into Postgres.
