We didn't do it for foreign keys because FK was a comparably "tiny"
project, considering the amount of base code that needed to be touched
(basically it's been building the deferred trigger queue and the
snapshot override, from there it all took place in the ri_trigger.c).
Win32 is different, and therefore has different administrative needs.
