Another way is to use direct catalog update which I presented on PgCon.
I think it should be easy to finish it (2-3weeks) for 8.4 - needs small
extension of bootstrap. And of course testing, testing ...

Also to remove oid in catalog and replace it with standard column (type
can be oid) should make things easier. But it is for 8.5.

I will send a code on Monday for people who wants to look on it.
