New port: postgresql-contrib

        New port, containing all contrib stuff distributed with postgresql

        From the README:

        The PostgreSQL contrib tree
        ---------------------------

        This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities,
        and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL
        system, mainly because they address a limited audience or
        are too experimental to be part of the main source tree.
        This does not preclude their usefulness.
