I see a potential problem with the introduction of the catalog/anum.h header,
to hold the Anum_... defines. This looks like it could be a significant break
in the backend API, as evidenced by the fact that plperl and dblink no longer
compile with this change.
I think a less invasive change would be to include anum.h into all the
catalog/pg_*.h headers, so that the external interface stays the same.
