The following patch will change the meaning of the isinf function in the
HAVE_FPCLASS section from "not finite" to "is infinity".

1. Make 'all' works without complaint.  Don't have to add the .exp
   files to the files list.  They are made automagically when
   making the respective shared lib file.

   Only port that actually uses EXPSUFF (from makefiles/Makefile.*)
   is Aix, so if this breaks anybody else, let me know, asap.

2. Make 'clean' actually cleans up correctly.  Previously, it would
   leave the .o files in C-code directory.

3. Changed references to reflect new location of .c files.

4. Added DELETE statements to complex.source so that it tidies up
   when done.  Previously, it would leave things in pg_amop,
   pg_amproc and pg_opclass.  Only possible to do this with the
   new SUBSELECT code in 6.3.  Nice work, fellas...

   Not deleting the index entries would cause a non-fatal error if
   complex.sql was run again on the same database.  Much tidier now.

5. Corrected the README.  obj directory hasn't existed since Bryan
   redid the make way back when.  Also changed the snipet from psql
   to match the current version. POSTGRES95?!?  I don't think so. :)

The following patches will allow postgreSQL 6.3 to compile and run on a
UNIXWARE 2.1.2 system with the native C compiler with the following library
change:

        The alloca function must be copied from the libucb.a archive and added
        to the libgen.a archive.

Also, the GNU flex program is needed to successfully build postgreSQL.

Seem to remember someone posting to one of the lists a while back
that the tutorial code wouldn't compile and/or run.  Found four
problems with it that will let it run.

1. Tutorial makefile had a recursive use of DLOBJS.

2. Some tutorial needed semi-colons added to many statements.

3. Complex tutorial didn't clean up after itself.

4. Advanced had a time-travel example.  Commented it out and
   put a line pointing the user to contrib/spi/README.

Two incorrect printf formats in parser/parse_type.c.  Prolly done
by me a long time ago when I cleaned up int's and Oid's...

Format flag is really just %u, not %ud.  Harmless, but results in
"type id lookup of 25d failed" instead of only "...25 failed"

Marked inner tuple now is copied into mergestate->mj_MarkedTupleSlot -
no more tricks arround ttc_shouldfree.

'=' and '<>'.

No more shift/reduce conflicts. Also all other bugs I know about are fixed.

This patch will...

1. Remove the "-Wall" option from the ecpg/lib and ecpg/preproc Makefile.

2. Remove the addition of $(SRCDIR)/include and-or $(SRCDIR)/backend from
   ecpg/lib, ecpg/preproc, libpq and utils Makefiles. Already in CFLAGS...

3. Set MK_NO_LORDER and RANLIB in Makefile.aix to avoid a couple of extra
   steps taken care of by the 'ld' command anyways.

    I thought it would be a good idea to ensure that the new view
    permission  model  will  not   get   broken   by   subsequent
    fixes/changes. So I wrote a little regression test for it.

    There  is  an  ugly thing in this regression test. It creates
    temporary a test user that is required  for  the  tests.  The
    user  is removed at the end of the test, but if sometimes the
    regression suite is aborted or crashes exactly here, the test
    user will lay around in the pg_shadow.  Don't have a clue how
    to get around.

Sorry, I just repeated the last call and send out a stupid should be empty
mail. Anyway, my last patch missed one change:

Subject: [PATCHES] ecpg: correct whenever statement

Here's a small patch to ecpg's man page to make it list all known bugs.

	return, not a slot returned from access method (they have
	different TupleDesc and MergeJoin node was broken).
nodeIndexscan.c: index_markpos()/index_restrpos() call index-specific
	mark/restr funcs and are in use now (instead of
	IndexScanMarkPosition()/ExecIndexRestrPos()).
