    I've thought a little more about that one and I don't like it
    anymore. It's a bad idea that enabling a language in  such  a
    looser-friendly  way is only possible during db creation, not
    for existing databases.

    I'll remove that from initdb again and instead  add  two  new
    utilities  "installpl"  and  "removepl".  That  way it's also
    possible to automate the process in  scripts  but  it  is  as
    flexible as can.
