- Fixed bug that reversed string length in typedefs.
- Added portability file to pgtypeslib.

Allow additional thread flags to be added via port templates.

Change thread flag names to PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS to match new
configure script.

- Set pgtypeslib version to 1.2.

Also remove -g, which has no business in CPPFLAGS in the first place,
let alone being hardwired there by a sub-Makefile.

non-gcc compilers, and they would never belong in CPPFLAGS anyway.

Started working on a seperate pgtypes library. First test work. PLEASE test compilation on iother systems.

- Started with an Informix compatibility option.

- Fixed several bugs concerning arrays of structs including a memory
  allocation bug.

- Synced pgc.l with scan.l.
- Synced keyword.c.
- Include the remaining patches by Christof Petig <christof.petig@wtal.de>.

production sometimes.

source directory.  This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".".  (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)

Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS).  Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.

DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.

DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because

a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.

(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

not work in the backend tree yet.

Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.

ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.

PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.

The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.

Well this is not really a patch. But I mananged to get Linus' old Postgres95
precompiler to compile and work with PostgreSQL. The next step would be to
collect bug/missing feature reports and to put it into the distribution so
that it is made with the standard make procedure.

Warning! So far it is not tested much and it does not install correctly. But
I was able to create a small binary with it.
