Done.

Left it alone for now.

Done.

I am still interpreting it. Can you give me some hints
besides using slot_getallattrs(slot)?

Done.

The option parsing and error checking is now common.

I also changed it to use transformStmt() in analyze.c.
However, both the UNION and sunselect cases give me
something like this:

ERROR: could not open relation 1663/16384/16723: No such file or directory

What else can I do with it?
