PG_MODULE_MAGIC
A module magic patch was added recently and I'm a bit uncertain what the implications are
for the external PL modules. Does it affect them at all? Will I need to provide separate
binaries for each bug fix release even though the API's do not change? Exactly how is the
magic determined?

Yes.

No, each major release (8.2, 8.3, etc). There are hardly ever any major
releases where you wouldn't need a new compilation anyway ...
