Good point --- I was thinking that postgres_ext.h includes config.h,
but I see it ain't so. You're right, those definitions must stay where
they are.
Still, I wonder why OIDNAMELEN isn't just defined as
(NAMEDATALEN+sizeof(Oid)) rather than putting a comment to that effect.
I will check the uses and see if that is a safe change or not.
