1. BTW, if anyone wants to work on it...

   We've had a couple of cases recently where we had to advise DBAs to make
   manual changes in the system catalogs --- see for instance the 7.4.2
   release notes or
   http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/2005-05/msg00001.php
   
   It'd be nicer if this sort of thing could be handled automatically
   by a software update.  There are good reasons why it's not trivial,
   but having been burnt twice in recent memory, I'm starting to think
   it'd be worth setting up a mechanism to handle such changes
   automatically.  Anyone up for working on it?
   
   			regards, tom lane

   I've been using this skeleton for quite some time now.  Magnus'
