I'm ambivalent on this.  On one hand, having the additional directory
level nicely categorizes the nature of the sys/contrib bits in the same
sense that /src/contrib does, and makes it easier to remove.  OTOH, 
this might get messy at some point.

I *really* don't like the idea of creating a separate include/contrib
directory, and this in particular seems an especially pointless move 
in order to cater to the SHARED=symlinks case.
