$Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ...

btree operator class, too, since in PG 7.4 you can't GROUP without one.

Includes fixes from Joe Conway.

bison 1.875 and later as we did from earlier bison releases.  Eventually
we will probably want to adopt the newer message spelling ... but not yet.
Per recent discussion on pgpatches.
Note: I didn't change the build rules for bootstrap, ecpg, or plpgsql
grammars, since these do not affect regression test results.

(usually bison output files), not as standalone files.  This hack
works around flex's insistence on including <stdio.h> before we are
able to include postgres.h; postgres.h will already be read before
the compiler starts to read the flex output file.  Needed for largefile
support on some platforms.

and comment in src/backend/parser/Makefile for the technical details.

written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can
use instead of writing their own each time.  You only need to set a few
variables and off you go.

Cygwin with the possible exception of mSQL-interface.  Since I don't
have mSQL installed, I skipped this tool.

Except for dealing with a missing getopt.h (oid2name) and HUGE (seg),
the bulk of the patch uses the standard PostgreSQL approach to deal with
Windows DLL issues.

I tested the build aspect of this patch under Cygwin and Linux without
any ill affects.  Note that I did not actually attempt to test the code
for functionality.

The procedure to apply the patch is as follows:

    $ # save the attachment as /tmp/contrib.patch
    $ # change directory to the top of the PostgreSQL source tree
    $ patch -p0 </tmp/contrib.patch

or library directories on the command line.

When no suitable YACC is configured, supply useful informational messages
to users.  (Same way flex has been handled for a while.)
