Better yet, they _should_ use pg_upgrade, so it gets some beta testing
too :)

I can help with making the types built-in, once there is code ready.
However, until we finish tracking down the indexing problems I'd like to
stay away from unrelated changes to the catalogs and backend code to
avoid confusing the issue.

Now that I think about it, that would have probably included the
snprintf changes, since now people trying to do debugging may not be
able to build with a new tree until that gets integrated...
