Another PGINDENT run that changes variable indenting and case label indenting.  Also static variable indenting.

Add field to support "WITH TIME ZONE".

Here's a patch that fixes the DROP AGGREGATE command to delete
the desired aggregate for a specific type.

2. VacuumStmt changed (for VACUUM ANALYZE...).

Subject: [HACKERS] Patch: SET var TO 'val'

  Here is a patch that adds a "SET variable TO 'somevalue'" capability
to the parser, and then calls the SetPGVariable() function (which does
just issue a elog(NOTICE) to see whether it works).

  That's the framework for adding timezone/date format/language/...
stuff.

Subject: [HACKERS] linux/alpha patches

These patches lay the groundwork for a Linux/Alpha port.  The port doesn't
actually work unless you tweak the linker to put all the pointers in the
first 32 bits of the address space, but it's at least a start.  It
implements the test-and-set instruction in Alpha assembly, and also fixes
a lot of pointer-to-integer conversions, which is probably good anyway.

Invalidate vacuum relation cache to use new row counts from vacuum.

Changes:

        * Unique index capability works using the syntax 'create unique
          index'.

        * Duplicate OID's in the system tables are removed.  I put
          little scripts called 'duplicate_oids' and 'find_oid' in
          include/catalog that help to find and remove duplicate OID's.
          I also moved 'unused_oids' from backend/catalog to
          include/catalog, since it has to be in the same directory
          as the include files in order to work.

        * The backend tries converting the name of a function or aggregate
          to all lowercase if the original name given doesn't work (mostly
          for compatibility with ODBC).

        * You can 'SELECT NULL' to your heart's content.

        * I put my _bt_updateitem fix in instead, which uses
          _bt_insertonpg so that even if the new key is so big that
          the page has to be split, everything still works.

        * All literal references to system catalog OID's have been
          replaced with references to define'd constants from the catalog
          header files.

        * I added a couple of node copy functions.  I think this was a
          preliminary attempt to get rules to work.

This gets us a clean compile of 'common' and 'gist' with *clean* #include
files

Note.  all include files that have been hit so far have had extraneous
       include files cleaned out and are reduced to...the lowest common
       "include file", based on 'cc -Wall -I. test.c', where test.c is:

#include "postgres.h"
#include "<top of branches>" (ie. top of branches this time was utils/fcache2.h)

that it depends on

	#include "postgres.h"
	#include "c.h"
