any hardcoding of those options. Along the way, reorder the expression used to
calculate RELSEG_SIZE to make it slightly clearer. For now wal_segsize is only
allowed to have a value of 1 on Windows - we can relax that when we get full
large file support in the backend.

let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure.  Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".

support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c.  Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size.  So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

which is a global variable not a function, and so the probe failed on machines
where the linker makes a distinction (cf. Red Hat bug #444317).  Probe for
an actual function instead.

where Datum is 8 bytes wide.  Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior.  Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

This requires a working 64-bit integer type. If such a type cannot
be found, "--disable-integer-datetimes" can be used to switch
back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.

This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working.  It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does.  Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.

Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.

than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice.  This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

reorganize code for NetBSD/BSDi port/fseeko.c usage, and make code more
modular.

- Change configure.in to use Autoconf 2.61 and update generated files.
- Update build system and documentation to support now directory variables
  offered by Autoconf 2.61.
- Replace usages of PGAC_CHECK_ALIGNOF by AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, now available
  in Autoconf 2.61.
- Drop our patched version of AC_C_INLINE, as Autoconf now has the change.
