I'm slightly skeptical of this because it could cause unexpected issues when you rebuild (especially in the PGXS case) a module that has already been installed; without care, you'd end up getting the module's own headers from the installed version rather than the one being built, which would be very bad. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad)
