You can also generate that reliably in SQL.  You install your extension
with CREATE EXTENSION then run the query over pg_depend and you have it
all.  Then you can test this upgrade script you just got in SQL.  Tom
also has a version that does the necessary string replacements using sed
from a bash script rather than the SQL replace() function.
