OK, applied this second version of the patch (with some minor cleanups).

If CREATE TRIGGER is unable to resolve the missing FROM clause, you get
something like

psql:r72.dump:81: NOTICE:  Unable to find table for constraint "<unnamed>"

while loading the dump, and then

z=# insert into zot values(22);
ERROR:  No target table given for trigger "RI_ConstraintTrigger_149654" on "zot"
        Remove these RI triggers and do ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT
z=#

when the trigger is fired (instead of "Relation 0 unknown").

If anyone's got an idea for a better one-liner hint for that error message,
I'm open to suggestions.
