Hello,

I'm running Slony-I 1.0.1 on PostgreSQL 7.3.2, which does not appear to
support namespace pathing in CREATE CAST statements.  The stock
xxid.v73.sql was failing with syntax errors on the casting to make xid
and xxid interchangeable.  I got around this by putting @NAMESPACE@ in
search_path, and this seems to work fine, though I can't test well
because I don't know how to make an xid. =)
