Hmm, does this actually work? I didn't know that elog() supported
errcode()/errmsg()/etc. I thought the macro definition didn't allow for
that.
Anyway, since the messages are still passed with errmsg(), they would
still end up in the message catalog, so this patch doesn't help my case.
I would suggest that instead of changing ereport to elog, you should
change errmsg() to errmsg_internal(). That prevents the translation
marking, and achieves the desired effect. (You can verify by running
"make update-po" in src/backend/ and seeing that the msgid no longer
appears in postgres.pot).

+1 for backpatching.
