Can we use get_relation_stats_hook on 8.4? The pg_statistic catalog
will be still modified by ANALYZEs, but we can rewrite the statistics
just before it is used.

your_relation_stats_hook(root, rte, attnum, vardata)
{
Call default implementation;
if (rte->relid = YourRelation && attnum = YourColumn)
((Form_pg_statistic) (vardata->statsTuple))->stadistinct = YourNDistinct;
}
