Hi Bernd!

Some nitpicking:
0. postgres % git apply ~/Downloads/v7.3-Add-GIST-sortsupport-*

1. I'm mostly seening patches formatted with `git patch-format` rather than diffs as patches...

2. Changes in contrib/btree_gist/btree_gist.c seem unnecessary.

3. Why do you move "typedef struct int32key" to btree_gist.h, but do not need to move all other keys?

4. These ifdedfs are not needed, just do INJECTION_POINT()
#ifdef USE_INJECTION_POINTS
INJECTION_POINT("btree-gist-sorted-build");
#endif

Also, there are 61 occurance of this code. Why not just 1 in gist_indexsortbuild() ?

Thanks!
