Makefile.global.

End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port".  Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself.  Still
work to be done though :)

I asked for this a long time ago and Frank Dana recently has
indicated that using lbsd on aix breaks the timezone code.

Add appropriate HAVE_{RANDOM,SRANDOM} values to config.h
Add approrpiate #ifdef's to sparc_solaris port files for Solaris v2.6

of assuming it does exist

MAXHOSTNAMELEN is defined.  For some reason, my 2.5.1 Solaris box at
work fails on that check...

As requested by Dr. Andrew C.R. Martin

Fixes a problem Darren reports with AIX, and doesn't seem to break either
FreeBSD or Linux(David?)...

Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for configure.in to not ask for CASSERT

The following patch defaults to CASSERT, so it doesn't ask you.  You can
still use --enable-cassert and --disable-cassert to do it explicitly.

Default: disabled

	--with-compiler=xlc

Subject: [HACKERS] Another patch to configure.in

I heard very little in objections/approvals to defaulting some of the
parameters to configure.  Enclosed is a patch to configure.in which
removes the questions for

        PGPORT
        USE_LOCALE
        NOHBA

By default (i.e. assuming you don't put anything extra in the configure
command line), it assumes PGPORT=5432, USE_LOCAL=no and NOHBA=no (i.e.
HBA is turned on)

        --with-pgport=PGPORT_NO         Over-rides the PGPORT value
        --enable-locale                 enables USE_LOCALE
        --disable-hba                   disables HBA

Just for completeness:

        --prefix=BASEDIR                Defaults to /usr/local/pgsql
        --with-template=TEMPLATE        Defaults to asking you

instead of as a -D
