Hmm ... if you changed HeapTupleHeader then it is pretty much completely unsafe to load *any* standard 
extension module into sepostgres; we have no way to tell which ones depend on that data structure.  But I 
think all the PLs do, and many contrib modules do, so none of those RPMs are compatible and you need to 
supply substitutes.

I wonder if it'd be feasible to hide the sepostgres add-on data into the t_hoff padding, the way OIDs have 
been handled the last few releases?  It's a bit of a long shot, but otherwise we're going to have a real hard 
time with binary dependencies.
