That looks right.

I see

prefix := /usr/local/pgsql
exec_prefix := ${prefix}

bindir := ${exec_prefix}/bin
sbindir := ${exec_prefix}/sbin

in the default configuration, so we need to keep the first two at least.  We 
don't need to expose them through pgxs, though.

pgxs only needs to expose the currently exposed variables plus sysconfdir, as 
previously discussed.  Unless someone can make a case that they need to 
access the other directories.
