No, XC code is based on PostgreSQL code. It doesn't have libraries that can
be plugged on top of postgres.

Wait that Devrim does it. or build it yourself.
I stored the pact RPM files that Devrim used here:
http://postgres-xc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=postgres-xc/pgxcrpm;a=summary
However, with the time code team members can spend on XC, we are
exclusively working on the dev of core features and bug fix, while letting
packagers build RPM or debian stuff for the project.
