Server headers are in a private subdirectory.  pg_config has a new option

\connect, to avoid possible password prompts and such, at the drawback of

pgsql-hackers.  pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name.  This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.

Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

except the created column is type int8 not int4.
initdb forced.  Note this also breaks any chance of pg_upgrade from 7.1,
unless we hack up pg_upgrade to drop and recreate sequences.  (Which is
not out of the question, but I don't wanna do it.)

syntax for language names (instead of 'string').

createlang now handles the case where a second language uses the same call
handler as an already installed language (e.g., plperl/plperlu).

droplang now handles the reverse case, i.e., dropping a language where
the call handler is still used by another language.  Moreover, droplang
can now be used to drop any user-defined language, not just the supplied
ones.

Don't hardcode the maximum accepted server version, use PG_VERSION instead.
Install a notice processor so notices are handled like error messages.

Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.

Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey

triggers in a valid order.

inference rules.  This allows it to recognize many simple cases involving
non-btree operations, for example 'x IS NULL'.  Clean up code a little.

of 'int4' and 'double'.  Add 'char' and 'int2' to allow user-defined types
to access the full set of supported alignments.

Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.

Also, some changes from Tom Lane to create a FULL option for VACUUM;
it doesn't do anything yet, but I needed to change many of the same
files to make that happen, so now seemed like a good time.
