add "check" and "installcheck" targets, straighten out make variable naming
of host_os, host_cpu, etc.

Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

add --without-tk option to disable Tk.  We don't need the AC_PATH_XTRA
test because tkConfig.sh already contains all the information about how to
compile and link with X.  Also make sure that libpq is up to date for
libpgtcl.  Remove executable bits from pgaccess.sh, but add it to pgaccess.

that's actually useful, robust, consistent.

Better plan to generate aclocal.m4 as well: use m4 include directives,
rather than cat.

incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.

the harm potential outweighs the possible benefits.

argument, change the order of tests for the third argument to be safe
against missing prototypes, and make it fail hard if none of the
combinations succeed.

(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.

A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.

reported by Mark Hollomon

Don't do config.status substitutions into the regression test makefile.

The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.

Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.

Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.

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

Read templates after compiler is detected. Convert all templates to real
shell scripts. Rename bsd->openbsd, alpha->osf.

* 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.

functional.

Handle include file installation in src/include/Makefile

genbki.sh improvements: Don't substitute anything by config.status,
instead pass in AWK and CPP through environment. Change calling
convention to support named output files, so we get to see error
messages on stderr.

Rename bootstrap template files and install them into PREFIX/share.
Update initdb to that effect and other readability improvements
in initdb.

add check for libz compression library for pg_dump

and config.h. Adjusted all referring code.

Scrapped pg_version and changed initdb accordingly. Integrated
src/utils/version.c into src/backend/utils/init/miscinit.c. Changed all
callers.

Set version number to `7.1devel'. (Non-numeric version suffixes now allowed.)

just pass in CPP and AWK via the environment from the Makefile.

where someone wants to build these but hasn't configured for Tcl.

Don't use DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO on Solaris. Don't define the
replacement function in the header file. Use -KPIC, not -K PIC.
Use CC to link C++ libraries, not ld/ar.

Eliminate file not found warnings in tcl build code.

standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.

maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.

Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.

ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.

PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.

The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.

scripts are executable after being installed.  Latest changes got the
permissions wrong (non executable).

all the standard semantics. Also get rid of Makefile.in's on the
way and instead declare all variables in Makefile.global.

interfaces and interfaces/odbc make files. Adjusted regression test
driver to start building and installing in the top level directory.

which didn't work anyway. Had to back out unixodbc related patch which
broke the regular ODBC build.

and readability.

Add options to configure to automatically build for Kerberos
support; no more editing of make files.

we'll get there one day.

Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.

Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.
