I think rel.h is atomic. There is no space to split it.

I don't think that we need third header file. It seems to me, that only macros
BufferGetPage requires both headers (Page and Buffer datatype). Other content
seems to me independent.

I'm thinking about renaming bufpage.h to page.h, but it is cosmetic change and
IIRC CVS does not like file renaming.
