Bug #826: opaque->internal translation required for 7.2 dumps

Philip Warner (pjw(at)rhyme(dot)com(dot)au) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
opaque->internal translation required for 7.2 dumps

Long Description
Dumping from 7.2 using 7.3 gives:

CREATE FUNCTION postgis_gist_sel (opaque, oid, opaque, integer) RETURNS double precision
AS '/var/lib/pgsql7.2.1/lib/contrib/libpostgis.so.0.7', 'postgis_gist_sel'
LANGUAGE "C";

...

CREATE OPERATOR && (
PROCEDURE = geometry_overlap,
LEFTARG = geometry,
RIGHTARG = geometry,
COMMUTATOR = &&,
RESTRICT = postgis_gist_sel,
JOIN = positionjoinsel
);

Which results in the following error:

ERROR: OperatorDef: function postgis_gist_sel(internal, oid, internal, integer) does not exist
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: OperatorDef: function postgis_gist_sel(internal, oid, internal, integer
) does not exist

This is similar to the problems we had earlier with opaque->internal conversions.

It also highlights another problem: that the full path name of objects is used when dumping functions. Should this not be installation-relative, if it is in the install tree?
