No, you can and should do this using the extensibility features of
Postgres (to make it available in v6.5.x). The docs have an example
dating back to the Chen/Jolly days on how. Look in the Programmer's
Guide in the chapter called "Interfacing Extensions To Indices", which
is also Chapter 36 in the integrated docs.
The other option is to develop patches to the .h files and have them
available when the next full release is out, in ~4-5 months.
