AFAIK there is no code currently on pgfoundry. We had a proposed project 
a little while back but the proposer got impatient and decided to 
withdraw it.

I think that having this or a similar module in contrib has some 
advantages, as an example on how to do user defined types, and as a 
check that pgxs is working in such cases.
