kibitzing from Tom Lane.  Large objects are now all stored in a single
system relation "pg_largeobject" --- no more xinv or xinx files, no more
relkind 'l'.  This should offer substantial performance improvement for
large numbers of LOs, since there won't be directory bloat anymore.
It'll also fix problems like running out of locktable space when you
access thousands of LOs in one transaction.
Also clean up cruft in read/write routines.  LOs with "holes" in them
(never-written byte ranges) now work just like Unix files with holes do:
a hole reads as zeroes but doesn't occupy storage space.
INITDB forced!

source directory.  This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".".  (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)

Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS).  Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.

either way (although the former is preferred by the Cygwin folks
themselves), but using only one seems nicer.

revise ODBC "installation instructions"; update some other outdated
documentation; update contrib documentation

to one another. Sort out builddir vs srcdir variable namings. Remove some
now obsoleted make variables.

 (Organizationally Unique Identifiers).
 This is the manufacturer's code in the MAC address.

We're reaching the mopup stage here (good thing too, this is getting
tedious).

Remove a bunch of crufty code for large-object-based arrays, which is
superseded by TOAST and likely hasn't worked in a long time anyway.
Clean up array code a little, and in particular eliminate its habit
of scribbling on the input array (ie, modifying the input tuple :-().

The .DEFAULT rule in backend/Makefile is harmful -- removed.
Replace `::' rules by `:'.

* the result is not recorded anywhere
* the result is not used anywhere
* the result is only used in some places, whereas others have been getting away with it
* the result is used improperly

Also make command line options handling a little better (e.g., --disable-locale,
while redundant, should really still *dis*able).

* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
  bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
  useful is left as an exercise.

* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
  all the other libraries are checked for.

* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.

* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
  Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
  anymore.

* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.

* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.

* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
  separately.

* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.

* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
  don't add it on in Makefile.global.

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

... and in completely unrelated news:

* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
  save the environment as well.

Does not work since it fetches one byte beyond the source data, and when
the phase of the moon is wrong, the source data is smack up against the
end of backend memory and you get SIGSEGV.  Don't laugh, this is a fix
for an actual user bug report.

one of updating the whole text datatype, but there are so dang many
calls of these two routines that it seems worth a separate commit.

Doesn't anyone remember how to program a binary search??

from Paul McGarry.

 And:

 Note, Bruce I found in the contrib tree any files that we forget
remove during contrib cleaning. Please remove these files:

contrib/lo/test.sql
contrib/pg_dumplo/Makefile.out
contrib/pgbench/pgbench_jis.doc
contrib/spi/new_example.example
contrib/spi/README.MAX

Thanks.

prepared for dirtribution (it needs a little changes). I can change and work
on this, but I need motivation :-)

And Peter, I know and I agree that standard PG tree is not good space for
all interfaces and for all tools based on PG, but LO is PG feature and we
haven't backup tool for LO.

quote-stripping, and acl-checking tasks for these functions from the
parser, and do them at function execution time instead.  This fixes
the failure of pg_dump to produce correct output for nextval(Foo)
used in a rule, and also eliminates the restriction that the argument
of these functions must be a parse-time constant.

the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere.
Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.

CurrentTriggerData is history.

PQconnectdb() style connections.
