As mentioned above, here is my contrib/tablefunc patch. It includes

Browse Source 
three functions which exercise the tablefunc API.

show_all_settings()
   - returns the same information as SHOW ALL, but as a query result

normal_rand(int numvals, float8 mean, float8 stddev, int seed)
   - returns a set of normally distributed float8 values
   - This routine implements Algorithm P (Polar method for normal
     deviates) from Knuth's _The_Art_of_Computer_Programming_, Volume 2,
     3rd ed., pages 122-126. Knuth cites his source as "The polar
     method", G. E. P. Box, M. E. Muller, and G. Marsaglia,
     _Annals_Math,_Stat._ 29 (1958), 610-611.

crosstabN(text sql)
   - returns a set of row_name plus N category value columns
   - crosstab2(), crosstab3(), and crosstab4() are defined for you,
     but you can create additional crosstab functions per directions
     in the README.
