Yeah I was planning on taking the enums out.  Or at least the one i
did in pg_constraint.h....  Like I said it was a WIP :) The syscache
stuff mainly for ease of use but can be taken out easily enough if
anyone objects.   (I added  unique index on conrelid, constrname and
SearchSysCache(CONSTRNAME...) for the curious who did not look at the
patch).

Ill take out the enums and see about getting a real fix for
create table (x int check constraint ...) inherits ((some table that
has an x int check constraint)

expect v2 sometime later today....
