Ok.. that works.

I must say it's a little strange being able to take a constant and say
its no longer constant anymore -- but I suppose it's no different than
defining then undefining pre-processor constants.

now, my changes seem to work.  Some possible minor bugs got squished
on the way but I can't be sure without more feedback from people who
really put the code to the test.

The new patch mostly simplifies variable handling and reduces code
duplication.  Changes in the command parser eliminate some redundant
variables (boolean state + depth counter), replaces some
"else if" constructs with switches, and so on.  It is meant to be
applied together with my previous patch, although I hope they don't
conflict; I went back to the CVS version for this one.

One more thing I thought should perhaps be changed: an IGNOREEOF
value of n will ignore only n-1 EOFs.  I didn't want to touch this
for fear of breaking existing applications, but it does seem a tad
illogical.

7.3.2).  It removes some code duplication and #ifdeffing, and some
unstructured ugliness such as tacky breaks and an unneeded continue.
Breaks up a large function into smaller functions and reduces required
nesting levels, and kills a variable or two.

Cleanup up memory allocation for $HOME in related psql places.

Update mention of $HOME/.pgpass in the docs;  add mention in pg_dumpall.

and --without-zlib to turn them off.

tests pass.

are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

Avoid infinite loop prompting for password at stdin EOF.

Improved psql's Ctrl-C handling
Fixed configure test for sigsetjmp that now even recognizes it if it's a macro

Fixed libpq printing functions

Initdb help correction
Changed end/abort to commit/rollback and changed related notices
Commented out way old printing functions in libpq
Fixed a typo in alter table / alter column

Also, minor tweakage of tab completion, and I hope the output is flushed
on time now.

  it's better than what used to be there.

* Does proper SQL "host variable" substitution as pointed out by Andreas
  Zeugwetter (thanks): select * from :foo; Also some changes in how ':'
  and ';' are treated (escape with \ to send to backend). This does
_not_
  affect the '::' cast operator, but perhaps others that contain : or ;
  (but there are none right now).

* To show description with a <something> listing, append '?' to command
  name, e.g., \df?. This seemed to be the convenient and logical
solution.
  Or append a '+' to see more useless information, e.g., \df+.

* Fixed fflush()'ing bug pointed out by Jan during the regression test
  discussion.

* Added LastOid variable. This ought to take care of TODO item "Add a
  function to return the last inserted oid, for use in psql scripts"
  (under CLIENTS)
  E.g.,
insert into foo values(...);
insert into bar values(..., :LastOid);
\echo $LastOid

* \d command shows constraints, rules, and triggers defined on the table
  (in addition to indices)

* Various fixes, optimizations, corrections

* Documentation update as well


Note: This now requires snprintf(), which, if necessary, is taken from
src/backend/port. This is certainly a little weird, but it should
suffice
until a source tree cleanup is done.

Enjoy.
