+This is the port for all stuff that comes in the contrib subtree of
+the postgresql distribution. 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.
+
+Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
+module. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators,
+or types. After you have installed the files you need to register the
+new entities in the database system by running the commands in the
+supplied .sql file. For example,
+
+ $ psql -d dbname -f module.sql
+
+The .sql files are installed into /usr/local/share/postgresql/contrib
+
+For more information, please see
+/usr/local/share/doc/postgresql/contrib/README*
+
+This software is part of the standard PostgreSQL distribution.
