Hi,
Thanks Dilip and Matheus for working on this , i reviewed the latest patch
given my Matheus and it LGTM but i have doubt that in f777d773878 commit
the $libdir was moved out from expand_dynamic_library_name
into load_external_function because if someone specifies LOAD '$libdir/foo'
explicitly they want to get the foo.so from $libdir not from other paths
given in dynamic_library_path ,i think same should go for the case when we
do "create extension" will try to execute the sql script which will replace
the MODULE_PATHNAME with module_pathname from .control file lets say which
is $libdir/foo ,now during the sql functions execution this calls the
load_external_function where we strip $libdir and we are going to load the
foo.so from other paths specified in dynamic_library_path, isn't that a
problem , i think this case is also same as with the LOAD.
