Just took a quick look through this.  Seems to be alright, but why do we
allow renaming ON SELECT rules at all, given that they must be named
_RETURN?  My thinking would be to check for that case and error out if
someone tries it.

You should try to keep variables lined up:

	Relation    pg_rewrite_desc;
	HeapTuple   ruletup;
+	Oid owningRel;

should be:

	Relation    pg_rewrite_desc;
	HeapTuple   ruletup;
+	Oid			owningRel;

I'd also strongly recommend looking through that entire function very
carefully.  Code that's been #ifdef'd out tends to rot.

	Thanks,
