here is a new patch containing all changes you (Tom) suggested to make. I
still use my "pavlo (pbpbit.org)" for me to locate my code; feel free to
illiminate them before integrating :-)

Now there is a newly declared parse node type "Default" - the corresponding
structure has no data. The "@default" hack is now illiminated - I'm the
happiest about it

The grammer now contains two new rules: "insert_target_list" and
"insert_target_el", the SELECT and INSERT don't use the same targetlist
anymore, but the "insert_target_el" completely inherits "target_el" to avoid
multiple declarations and it just provides the new DEFAULT-rule.
I hope, this patch is ok - to me, it looks correct now
