Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit).  install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.

install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.

Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d.  For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).

Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend.  In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.

This turned out to be much easier than feared.  Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS.  MSVC build fix was attempted as well.

wrappers (similar to procedural languages).  This way we don't need to retain
the nearly empty libraries, and we are more free in how to implement the
wrapper API in the future.

This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

errors in any commands, including in various clean targets that have so far
been handled inconsistently.  make -i is available to ignore all errors in
a consistent and official way.

Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.

Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.

and there was some question about its copyright status.

"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

some massaging by Peter Eisentraut.  This is basically a simple
generalization of the existing contrib makefiles.

$Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ...

Eliminate the mysterious games that the Cygwin build plays with the linker
flag variables.  DLLLIBS is gone, use SHLIB_LINK like everyone else.
Detect cygipc in configure, after the linker flags are set up, otherwise
configure might not work at all.

Make sure everything is covered by make clean.

Fix the build of the new conversion procedure modules.

Add new DLLIMPORT markers where required.

Finally, the compiler complains if we use an explicit
-I/usr/local/include, so don't do that.  Curiously, -L/usr/local/lib is
still necessary.

'make install'; there are enough of 'em that this slowed down the make
noticeably.  Ensure that 'all' is the default make target in all these
directories (defaulting to 'make install' is surprising and dangerous
IMHO).  Fix a couple small typos.

Some makefile simplifications.

  src/GNUmakefile.in to src/Makefile
and
  src/backend/port/Makefile.in to src/backend/port/Makefile

All configure substitutions are now done in Makefile.global.

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.

(The test 'make --version' with FreeBSD make (and potentially others)
would just reinvoke make on the same Makefile, resulting in an infinite
loop.)

don't accidentally use non-GNU make.

Also, I think that an extra source of noise in the diff of regress.out and
expected.out is caused by not substituting the shared library file
extension in the regression.input file (much like the paths and the
usernames are sub'ed). This seems to be fixed with the following patches
to regression.input and the Makefile... If I'm off base here, please tell!
