Summary: Use PGXS to build the PL module

Initial Comment:
For a while now, teop has used a distutils extension to compile the PL module. While this paved the road for doing builds on Windows, and any platform supported by distutils that can compile CPython, it is difficult to maintain. While it extends distutils, so it should be portable, but chances are it's going to require more effort to maintain it than a PGXS makefile.

Message:
Considering consolidating the Python extension module with the Postgres extension to continue to simplify the build process and to make it not such an exotic PL.
(the cases to keep them separate are not useful enough to justify the extra work)
