Kirkwood, minor improvements by Neil Conway. The regression tests have
been updated and the catversion has been bumped.

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep
the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.

In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was
merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that
design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch
fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list
length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer.
A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data
about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer
to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes.

The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope,
be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are
still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of
the tree has been updated to use the new API names.

conversion of basic ASCII letters.  Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower.  These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion.  I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent.  Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

yet, though).  Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a
common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular
resno.  This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded
search loops.  Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with
llast().

the bulk of the heavy lifting ...

but that was enough tedium for one day.  Along the way, move the few
support routines for types xid and cid into a more logical place.

other changes.

should be pretty safe in practice, but it's probably better to be safe
than sorry.

I was actually looking for cases where NAMEDATALEN is assumed to be
32, but only found one. That's fixed too, as well as a few bits of
code cleanup.

Thanks.

Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out
that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in
bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations;
RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code
caught it :-)

  CREATE VIEW as SELECT CTID, ....
  SELECT currtid( a view, ..).

sequence functions how to cope with qualified names.  Same code is
also used for int4notin, currtid_byrelname, pgstattuple.  Also,
move TOAST tables into special pg_toast namespace.

tests pass.

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

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.

CurrentTriggerData is history.
