When trying to run a regression test with PG 8.2 on this, I'm seeing a
problem:

cbbrowne at dba2:Slony-I/CMD/slony1-HEAD/tests> cat 
/tmp/slony-regress.c12207/slonik.log
<stdin>:4: PGRES_FATAL_ERROR load '$libdir/slony1_funcs';  - ERROR: 
could not load library "/opt/OXRS/dbs/pgsql82/lib/slony1_funcs.so":
/opt/OXRS/dbs/pgsql82/lib/slony1_funcs.so: undefined symbol: SET_VARSIZE
<stdin>:4: Error: the extension for the Slony-I C functions cannot be
loaded in database 'dbname=slonyregress1 host=localhost user=cbbrowne
port=5882'<stdin>:4: ERROR: no admin conninfo for node 134594856

Note: this problem is consistent across both branches (e.g. - HEAD and 1.2).

I suspect that this breaks something about support of older versions. 
At some point, that may be acceptable for CVS HEAD, but I rather think
it won't be OK for 1.2 :-).

I don't have time to explore that this afternoon; hopefully our
timezones differ sufficiently appropriately that you either see this
tonight or tomorrow morning.
