make sure the $Id tags are converted to $PostgreSQL as well ...

tests pass.

are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

for portability.  Per discussion on pghackers around 9/16/00.

robust, since it's about to get used much more heavily.

Ok. I made patches replacing all of "#if FALSE" or "#if 0" to "#ifdef
NOT_USED" for current. I have tested these patches in that the
postgres binaries are identical.

so that EXPLAIN works again.

it fails to compile on any machine without a <features.h> header.
If this header is actually necessary on Windows, perhaps an #if test
is in order.

separately from snprintf() --- HPUX, for one, has snprintf but not
vsnprintf.  Fix a minor typo in snprintf.c, too.

6.4.1. Here is the list:

- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.

- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.

- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.

- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.

doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.

Add in, I think, support for %lld in snprintf(), specifically with
Irix in mind...
