Makefile patches in contrib directory for 6.3.2.

Jun Kuwamura <juk@rccm.co.jp> — 1998-05-25T14:17:03Z

I'm contributing PostgreSQL package for Japanese Linux distribution
which consists of two archives.  One is main package and another
contains examples such as in contrib, test and tutorial directories.

When I tried to make under contrib directory, I felt difficulty to work
under each subdirectory.  So I made a patch to install *.so objs in
$PGLIB/modules directory.  In this time, I found the problem when
regression testing with recompiled refint.so which needs some
compile flag to be vurbos for the test.  This time I added Makefile
and README file in contrib directory as the followings.

  You have to do manualy execute sql commands and make entries of functions
