the -l options.  (This was not the case when using the  OpenSSL or Kerberos
options.)  Also make sure that shared library links get to see all the -L
options.  Get Kerberos 5 support to compile on Redhat 7.0.  Add OpenSSL and
-lsocket (if used/found) to libpq link.

messed up and we end up with the comments from included files in the output
"configure".

particular, allow linking with arbitrary commands rather than only $(AR) or
$(LD), and treat C++ without hacks.

Add option to disable shared libraries.  This takes the place of the
BSD_SHLIB variable.  The regression test driver ignores the plpgsql test
if there are no shared libraries available.

Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the
library magic happens in Makefile.port anyway.

Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.

flags for Solaris.  The test itself is straight from libtool.

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.

anyway, the rest being due to them not being kept in sync.  Add configure
test for lorder and use it (on Solaris) when found.

installing into a shared location.  Also Makefile.global organizational
cleanup.

add "check" and "installcheck" targets, straighten out make variable naming
of host_os, host_cpu, etc.

Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

add --without-tk option to disable Tk.  We don't need the AC_PATH_XTRA
test because tkConfig.sh already contains all the information about how to
compile and link with X.  Also make sure that libpq is up to date for
libpgtcl.  Remove executable bits from pgaccess.sh, but add it to pgaccess.

that's actually useful, robust, consistent.

Better plan to generate aclocal.m4 as well: use m4 include directives,
rather than cat.

incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.

the harm potential outweighs the possible benefits.

argument, change the order of tests for the third argument to be safe
against missing prototypes, and make it fail hard if none of the
combinations succeed.

(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.

A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.

Don't do config.status substitutions into the regression test makefile.

The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.

Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.

Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.
