Add test for cross-compiles that they have to run the thread_test
program on the target machine.

Allow additional thread flags to be added via port templates.

Change thread flag names to PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS to match new
configure script.

Remove all of the libpgtcl and pgtclsh files, including all references to
them within the various makefiles

with_tcl is still required for the src/pl/tcl language

special Win32 open flag FILE_SHARE_DELETE.

Not an issue for 7.4.X.

Backpatch to 7.4.X.  Required for Solaris 7 & 8.

variable.

Remove thread locking for non-thread-safe functions, instead throw a
compile error.

Platforms will have to re-run tools/thread to record their thread
safety.

Without this patch, no thread locking or *_r functions were being used.

snprintf format for uint64 items.

-fno-strict-aliasing.

 * configure + Makefile changes
 * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
 * PATH env var separator differences
 * missing win32 rand functions added
 * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h


To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):

        * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)

        * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls

        * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro

        * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)

Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...

This seems cleaner, and also opens the door to making the choice be
dependent on the compiler being used.

--with-openssl options.  This creates too much risk to pick up the wrong
directory accidentally (for example when there are lib64 directories), and
does not really help much with contemporary installation layouts.

Add --without-docdir to prevent installation of documentation, which is
helpful for things like RPM that have their own method of installing

When --enable-debug is used, then the default CFLAGS for non-GCC is just

CFLAGS in the configure environment will be honored.
