configure.in to determine if a system is ELF or not.  Note that some
of the tests earlier may be redundant but I took the safest route.

reports of problems before...

when used with egcs --- now it does.

in config.h, but I'll leave well enough alone for now ...

it with configure-script tests to see whether const, inline, volatile, etc
work or not.  (Curiously, configure was already doing the work to see if
const and inline were OK, but the results were not getting plugged into
config.h :-(.)

configure, instead of having a bunch of crufty platform-specific guesses.

different directories.  The patch gave the option of specifying a dir

the tk script and if they were both in the same directory then it didn't
mind being empty.  It's small so I'm including it.  It was tested with
autoconf 2.12.

define INT64_FORMAT in all cases.

LinuxPPC
FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE

All of them seem happy with the regression test. Note that, however,
compiling with optimization enabled on NetBSD/macppc causes an initdb
failure (other two platforms are ok). After checking the asm code, we
are suspecting that might be a compiler(egcs) bug.

Have configure check for use of %lld for int64, and if that fails, check for
use of %qd...a more generic solution then having #ifdef __<INSERT OS HERE>__
in the code...

is less likely to fail for lack of semaphores.

of MAXBACKENDS is now 1024, since all it's costing is about 32 bytes of memory
per array slot.  configure's --with-maxbackends switch now controls DEF_MAXBACKENDS
which is simply the default value of the postmaster's -N switch.  Thus,
the out-of-the-box configuration will still limit you to 64 backends,
but you can go up to 1024 backends simply by restarting the postmaster with
a different -N switch --- no rebuild required.

(--with-maxbackends).  Add a postmaster switch (-N backends) that allows
the limit to be reduced at postmaster start time.  (You can't increase it,
sorry to say, because there are still some fixed-size arrays.)
Grab the number of semaphores indicated by min(MAXBACKENDS, -N) at
postmaster startup, so that this particular form of bogus configuration
is exposed immediately rather than under heavy load.

for int8 support.  configure now checks only snprintf() for int8 support,
not sprintf and sscanf as it used to.  The reason for doing this is that
if we are supplying our own snprintf code (which does handle long long int),
we now only need working long long support in the compiler not in the
platform's C library.  I have verified that int8 now passes regression test
on HPUX 9, and I think it should work on SunOS 4.1.* and other older
platforms if gcc is used.

freebsd4.0 needed to be added to configure...

separately from snprintf() --- HPUX, for one, has snprintf but not
vsnprintf.  Fix a minor typo in snprintf.c, too.

instead of our own halfway-there code.  Add AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE call
to check whether tm_zone exists in struct tm.  Revise reading of template
file so that templates can define any variables they feel like (and,
indeed, can execute arbitrary shell code) rather than being constrained
to a fixed set of variable names.

instead of relying on port's os.h to tell us.  (Needed for HPUX
where system major version is not enough info.)
configure unsets USE_TK if X libraries not found.
doc/Makefile uses gzcat or zcat as found by autoconf.

selected when they match a prefix of the  value.  The previous method,
which stripped all version data from  and then tried to match that
against .similar entries, was entirely useless when .similar contained
several entries for different version numbers of a single OS name.

slight mods required for freebsd (elf vs aout stuff)

oops, forgot one part of the patch...remove 'false' setting to ELF_SYS...
