Remove all of the libpgtcl and pgtclsh files, including all references to
them within the various makefiles

with_tcl is still required for the src/pl/tcl language

subroutine in src/port/pgsleep.c.  Remove platform dependencies from
miscadmin.h and put them in port.h where they belong.  Extend recent
vacuum cost-based-delay patch to apply to VACUUM FULL, ANALYZE, and
non-btree index vacuuming.

By the way, where is the documentation for the cost-based-delay patch?

 * configure + Makefile changes
 * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
 * PATH env var separator differences
 * missing win32 rand functions added
 * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h


To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):

        * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)

        * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls

        * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro

        * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)

Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...

contains the patches to Makefile.global.in and Makefile.unixware.  The
Makefile.unixware patch has been updated to include the contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if present, to the -rpath (-R) option.  This change
will  simplify configuring and building PostgreSQL on systems that
support  LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include all
the directorys  you want to have searched for additional libraries, run
configure, then run  make.  The paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH will then be
embedded in the executables  via the -rpath (-R) option to the linker,
and so will not require  LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to run.

for easier hand-editing of the results, if necessary.
