Create objects in public schema.

Make spacing/capitalization consistent.

Remove transaction block use for object creation.

Remove unneeded function GRANTs.

snprintf() in contrib/. I didn't touch the places where pointer
arithmatic was being used, or other areas where the fix wasn't
trivial. I would think that few, if any, of the usages of sprintf()
were actually exploitable, but it's probably better to be paranoid...

malloc()'s. This isn't too serious (because oid2name is a short-lived
utility, so the memory will soon be returned to the OS on process
termination), but I still think it's poor style.

This patch changes oid2name so that it allocates memory on the stack
where possible and free()s the remaining heap-allocated memory. The
patch also fixes a typo a comment and adds 'const' qualifiers to a few
'char *' function parameters.

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.

> OK, add #include <stdio.h> to the file.  That should fix it.

Seems unlikely, since libpq-fe.h already includes <stdio.h>.

The real problem here is that the code is wrong: it's passing NULL
to an int parameter.
