contrib/README says that dlz/drivers are the old style dlz support,
and one should use dlz/modules.
Correct.
The modules in contrib/dlz/modules are loaded at runtime. Since they're dynamically linked, you don't have to link them into named at compile
time, so configure doesn't know about them.
./configure dlz options, however, seem to enable exactly dlz/drivers,
i.e., the "deprecated" one, instead of dlz/modules.
What is the status of contrib/dlz/modules? Their build doesn't look to
be integrated with the rest of the build system.
The ones in contrib/dlz/drivers ones do need to be linked in at compile
time, so they still turn up as configure options even though they're
kinda obsolete now.
I expect them to go away in 9.17/9.18; the only reason they're still there
now is that a few of them support databases that we don't have modules for (postgres, ODBC).
