Adds a configuration parameter, extraver, that is appended to the
version number when built.

introduction of the HAVE_UUID_OSSP symbol to the principal build
process.  Back-patch to 9.4, where that commit appeared.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was
applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

In the MSVC build system we've never separated krb5 from gss,
and always built them both. Since the removal of native krb5
support, this parameter only controls GSSAPI, so rename it
accordingly.

krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do
Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method
(which is still fully supported).

libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only
gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication
is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all
in the backend.

This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script.  Also update
pgindent instructions.

Get rid of the fundamentally indefensible assumption that "long long int"
exists and is exactly 64 bits wide on every platform Postgres runs on.
Instead let the configure script select the type to use for "pg_int64".

This is a bit of a pain in the rear since we do not want to pollute client
namespace with all the random symbols that pg_config.h defines; instead
we have to create a separate generated header file, "pg_config_ext.h".
But now that the infrastructure is there, we might have the ability to
add some other stuff that's long been wanting in this area.

Run on HEAD and 9.2.

Per recent work by Peter Geoghegan, it's significantly faster to
tuplesort on a single sortkey if ApplySortComparator is inlined into
quicksort rather reached via a function pointer.  It's also faster
in general to have a version of quicksort which is specialized for
sorting SortTuple objects rather than objects of arbitrary size and
type.  This requires a couple of additional copies of the quicksort
logic, which in this patch are generate using a Perl script.  There
might be some benefit in adding further specializations here too,
but thus far it's not clear that those gains are worth their weight
in code footprint.

This provides a separate exception class for each error code that the
backend defines, as well as the ability to get the SQLSTATE from the
exception object.

src/pl/plpgsql/src/plerrcodes.h, src/include/utils/errcodes.h, and a
big chunk of errcodes.sgml are now automatically generated from a single

Look only at the non-localized part of the output from "vcbuild /?",

languages seem to localize different amounts of the string, but we assume
the part "Microsoft Visual C++" won't be modified.

and allow using config.pl to override the defaults. config.pl is removed from
the repository, so changes there will no longer show up when doing diff, and
will not prevent switching branches and such things.

config.pl would normally be used to override single values, but if an
old-style config.pl is read, it will override the entire default configuration,
making it backwards compatible.

pg_attribute, by having genbki.pl derive the information from the various
catalog header files.  This greatly simplifies modification of the
"bootstrapped" catalogs.

This patch finally kills genbki.sh and Gen_fmgrtab.sh; we now rely entirely on
Perl scripts for those build steps.  To avoid creating a Perl build dependency
where there was not one before, the output files generated by these scripts
are now treated as distprep targets, ie, they will be built and shipped in
tarballs.  But you will need a reasonably modern Perl (probably at least
5.6) if you want to build from a CVS pull.

The changes to the MSVC build process are untested, and may well break ---
we'll soon find out from the buildfarm.

a bit more bulletproof in some other small ways.  Likewise fix the equally
hard-wired, and utterly undocumented, knowledge in the MSVC build scripts.
For testing purposes and perhaps other uses in future, pull out that portion
of the MSVC scripts into a standalone perl script equivalent to
Gen_fmgrtab.sh, and make it generate actually identical output, rather than
just more-or-less-the-same output.

Motivated by looking at Pavel's variadic function patch.  Whether or not
that gets accepted, we can be sure that pg_proc's column set will change
again in the future; it's time to not have to deal with this gotcha.
