argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support
for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).
-It fixes up some bugs with handling setval calls
-Adds upgrade instructions from prior versions
-Improved the sample config file
-Fixed some things in the clean_pending script
In incorperates changes from myself and a number of contributors.
This update to dbmirror provides:
-replication of sequence operations via setval/nextval
-DBMirror.pl support for logging to syslog
-changed the names of the tables to dbmirror_* (no quotes required)
-Support for writitng SQL statements to files instead of directly to
a slave database
-More options for DBMirror.pl in the config files.

causing the postmaster to crash when the trigger was running on a table
without a primary key.
I've also updated the docs to explicitly say that tables need primary
keys.
