the "ps" argument list on Unix - meaning that there is no way to
identify for example the stats processors or the bgwriter.

This patch adds this functionality, in a bit of a crufty way. It creates
a kernel Event object with the name of what would be in the title. This
can be viewed using for example Process Explorer.

It's been very handy for me during both debugging and using. I haven't
figured a better way, but perhaps someone has one that's less crufty? If
not, here is at least a working patch :-)

the xml2 contrib module. It's against 8.0beta4. It's intended for
commit.

very good practice IMHO, but apparently some people think so.

that readline must depend on libcurses, but it seems more recent ones
use libtermcap instead.  Allow that case.

reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.

Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts.  If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations.  But I don't.

handles that, and make solaris debug use no optimization.

calling applications.  This is done by blocking sigpipe in the libpq
thread and using sigpending/sigwait to possibily discard any sigpipe we
generated.

Michael Fuhr. Along the way, fix a bunch of accesses to uninitialized
memory, add a mystrdup() routine and use it to cleanup some code.

downloading CVS at cyclic.com site is long defunct, and I changed the text
to not overtly recommend CVS 1.10, a now fairly old version.

escapes --- they aren't simply quoted characters.  Problem noted by
Antti Salmela.  Also fix problem with incorrect handling of multibyte
characters when followed by a quantifier.

In particular, there was a mathematical tie between the two possible
nestloop-with-materialized-inner-scan plans for a join (ie, we computed
the same cost with either input on the inside), resulting in a roundoff
error driven choice, if the relations were both small enough to fit in
sort_mem.  Add a small cost factor to ensure we prefer materializing the
smaller input.  This changes several regression test plans, but with any
luck we will now have more stability across platforms.

a relation's number of blocks, rather than the possibly-obsolete value
in pg_class.relpages.  Scale the value in pg_class.reltuples correspondingly
to arrive at a hopefully more accurate number of rows.  When pg_class
contains 0/0, estimate a tuple width from the column datatypes and divide
that into current file size to estimate number of rows.  This improved
methodology allows us to jettison the ancient hacks that put bogus default
values into pg_class when a table is first created.  Also, per a suggestion
from Simon, make VACUUM (but not VACUUM FULL or ANALYZE) adjust the value
it puts into pg_class.reltuples to try to represent the mean tuple density
instead of the minimal density that actually prevails just after VACUUM.
These changes alter the plans selected for certain regression tests, so
update the expected files accordingly.  (I removed join_1.out because
it's not clear if it still applies; we can add back any variant versions
as they are shown to be needed.)

This prevents the next psql prompt from showing up on the end of the
last history line.

reliably (ie, regardless of which libraries they depend on).  Also
make sure that we don't select headers that obviously belong to the
wrong one of the two libraries.  This was discussed back around 4-Sep
but seems to have slipped through the cracks.  The header selection
could be checked more closely, perhaps, but let's see if this is good
enough.
