The Makefile.pre.in procedure for building extension modules is not
supported anymore. Extension authors should use distutils.

If you don't want to write a setup.py for postgresql, you can probably
work around this by disabling the relevant section of postgresql's
configure.in, and building the extension manually - you should look at
their Setup file to find any additional options they want to use for
the Python extensions.
