I have committed the first patch, and the buildfarm hiccup seems to have 
passed.

I'll close this commitfest entry now.  I have enough feedback to work on 
the ObjectProperty generation, but I'll make a new entry for that.

Commits

  1. Generate syscache info from catalog files

  2. Fill in more of ObjectProperty

  3. Correct ObjectProperty entry for transforms

  4. genbki.pl: Factor out boilerplate generation

  5. Restructure DECLARE_INDEX arguments

  6. Update DECLARE_INDEX documentation

  7. Replace hardcoded switch in object_exists() with a lookup table.
