I’ve attached a patch that fleshes out the docs, along with an example of setting `extension_control_path` and `dynamic_library_path` to use the locations. It might not have the information right about the need for “postgresql” or “pgsql” in the path. Back in 2003[1] it was just “postgres”, but I couldn’t find the logic for it just now.

Here’s a rebase.
