The trigger interface for 7.0 is the same as in 6.5, so you can rely
on the online document for now.
7.1 will have a different trigger interface (but the document hasn't
been updated yet). The key difference is that the TriggerData structure
will be passed as a parameter rather than being pointed to by a global
variable. You can minimize the number of changes you will need to make
by not referring to CurrentTriggerData all over the place --- instead,
copy it into a local variable at the start of your trigger function.

Easiest way is to point -I at the src/include tree, I'm afraid. There
are some examples of C triggers in the contrib/ area, take a look at
their makefiles.
