Call setrlimit if possible in pg_regress to allow core file generation, and provide a switch for similar behaviour in pg_ctl.

No, I do not care whether Coverity considers this a memory leak.
It's entirely not worth the code space to do it correctly.

opposed to what other versions apparently do, so it's not safe to print an
error message.  Besides, getopt_long itself already did, so it's redundant
anyway.

symlink is kept for now for compatibility.  To call single-user mode, use
postgres --single.

	o  remove many WIN32_CLIENT_ONLY defines

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory.  Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).

Backpatch to 8.1.X.

pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp ... but I see some of the former have
crept back in.
Eternal vigilance is the price of locale independence, apparently.

Add missing plperl include.

unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane.  All per recent
pghackers discussions.

so that restart doesn't fail when old postmaster died unbetimes.

postmaster.pid still represents a live postmaster.

implementation doesn't export out via libpq and get used by a user
application.

macros around strings that were missing them.

Tag appropriate files for rc3

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

Just paranoia ...

owned by postgres, doing "pg_ctl start" as root could allow a privilege
escalation attack, as pointed out by iDEFENSE.  Of course the postmaster would
fail, but we ought to fail a little sooner to protect sysadmins unfamiliar
with Postgres.  The chosen fix is to disable root use of pg_ctl in all cases,
just to be confident there are no other holes.

password.

Make password error message a #define and use it consistently.

- refactor a bunch of code to call a separate function print_msg() which
checks whether "silent mode" is enabled before printing an error
message.

- rename "silence_mode" to "silent_mode", which IMHO makes more sense

- make the error messages we emit in "waiting" mode more consistent; I
believe this fixes a recent error message regression
