Adding attisdropped

Hi,

I've attached the changes I've made to pg_attribute.h - I can't see what's
wrong but whenever I do an initdb it fails:

initdb -D /home/chriskl/local/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "chriskl".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

creating directory /home/chriskl/local/data... ok
creating directory /home/chriskl/local/data/base... ok
creating directory /home/chriskl/local/data/global... ok
creating directory /home/chriskl/local/data/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /home/chriskl/local/data/pg_clog... ok
creating template1 database in /home/chriskl/local/data/base/1...
initdb failed.
Removing /home/chriskl/local/data.

Did you change the relnatts entry in pg_class.h for pg_attribute?

More generally, run initdb with -d or -v or whatever its debug-output
switch is, and look at the last few lines to see the actual error.
(Caution: this may produce megabytes of output.)

Seems we may not need isdropped, so I will hold on evaluating this.
