Since a week ago, PL/php ships a small install.sql script that adds a
pg_pltemplate entry. This seems easy enough for the DBA.

I still to manage an extension patch. It should be easy for plproxy author (hi Marko) to care for pltemplate entry, I hope

Note that there's nothing stopping a DBA from putting new entries in
pg_pltemplate within his installation. Peter's points are valid reasons
why we should be wary of putting entries into our distribution --- it's
hard to control this sort of stuff over the timescale of a PG major
release. But per-installation it doesn't seem unreasonable.
