Autoconf

 Before, "make install" did not run the lextest.
Fix up the ODBC make from this main configure.
Include configure test for "ln -s" in Makefile.global.in.
 Was always in configure, just not carried through to here for use.

Suppress installing man pages from here; do it from the doc/Makefile now.

to behave sanely.  configure was not treating it as BSD...

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

We're carrying around a copy of install-sh in case the local system
has no install script.  It's wasted baggage, because configure doesn't
know it's there :-(.  (Apparently everyone who's used postgres lately
already had an install script somewhere in their path.  I happened to
try to run configure with a minimal PATH tonight, and it promptly
gave up for lack of an install program.)  Here's the patch.

int64 fix

Fix for SNPRINTF test in configure

From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Adrian Hall reported a problem to me that snprintf() doesn't exist in, at
least, Solaris 2.5.1.  We use it in backend/utils/adt/int8.c.

Add a check to configure so that we see if it exists or not, and, if not,
compile in snprintf.c from backend/port, which was taken from, and falls under
the same Berkeley license as us, the FreeBSD libc/stdio ...

Missed a few files in the last round of commits from Tatsuo, as well
as needed to run autoconf ...

in a more readable form.  -- I am submitting the following patches
to the June 6, 1998 snapshot of PostgreSQL.  These patches implement
a port of PostgreSQL to SCO UnixWare 7, and updates the Univel port
(UnixWare 2.x).  The patched files, and the reason
 for the patch are:

File            Reason for the patch ---------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
src/backend/port/dynloader/unixware.c src/backend/port/dynloader/unixware.h
src/include/port/unixware.h src/makefiles/Makefile.unixware
src/template/unixware
		Created for the UNIXWARE port.

src/include/port/univel.h
		Modifed this file to work with the changes made to
		s_lock.[ch].

src/backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c src/include/storage/s_lock.h
		Moved the UNIXWARE (and Univel) tas() function from
		s_lock.c to s_lock.h.  The UnixWare compiler asm
		construct is treated as a macro and needs to be in
		the s_lock.h file.  I also reworked the tas()
		function to correct some errors in the code.

src/include/version.h.in
		The use of the ## operator with quoted strings in
		the VERSION macro caused problems with the UnixWare
		C compiler.  I removed the ## operators since they
		were not needed in this case.  The macro expands
		into a sequence of quoted strings that will be
		concatenated by any ANSI C compiler.

src/config.guess
		This script was modified to recognize SCO UnixWare
		7.

src/configure src/configure.in
		The configure script was modified to recognize SCO
		UnixWare 7.

I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the
backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting
command:

SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding';

Other features include:
	Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness

See doc/README.mb for more details. Note that the pacthes are
against May 30 snapshot.
