Thanks!
I took a quick look at back-patching the REL7_2_STABLE branch, but quite
a bit has changed since then -- sorry :(
If you do undertake this yourself, please note that Tom Lane cleaned up
a few things after my patch was committed -- so you'll want his final
version of the renametrig() function, which is now in
~/src/backend/commands/trigger.c.
In the meantime, manually updating the system catalogs to rename a
trigger should work fine, as long as you restart your backends -- see
Tom's email (if you haven't already) for more detail:
