There are open questions about plperl and plpython, which currently
don't install what's needed for out-of-tree transforms. See the
subthread under this message:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/87o9ej8bgl.fsf%40news-spur.riddles.org.uk

Fixing contrib/hstore_plperl etc. to work as examples of how to do
things would obviously first require fixing plperl and plpython, and
while I'm happy to do that I do need feedback first regarding the
plpython headers (I do not use python myself) and the other issues I
mentioned in the message that contains a draft patch.
