there's no shared libpython.  Test suite works as well. Also, add some
documentation.

time to do it, not during beta because people are using this stuff in
production sometimes.

enables pltcl unknown support.


Also it adds substituting of tclsh with tclsh that was by configure in
pltcl_*mod scripts. For example, On freebsd, tclsh can be called
tclsh8.2 or
tclsh8.3 depending on installed version of Tcl.

After patching files
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_loadmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_delmod

Here's a version of my suggested diffs transplanted to 7.1 beta 5.  I'm
still looking at the best way to integrate Tom Vijlbrief's fixes
(insofar as they're still needed); would 7.2 be a suitable time for
incompatible API changes?

Changes:

(*) Introduced bool, true, false (replacing some int, 1, 0)
(*) Made some member functions const
(*) Documented GetIsNull()
(*) Marked DisplayTuples() and PrintTuples() as obsolescent; fixed possible
    portability problem (assumed that NULL pointer equals all-zero bit pattern)
(*) PrintTuples(): renamed width parameter to fillAlign to conform with other
    usage; fixed memory leak and compile issue w.r.t. field separator (should
    also slightly improve performance)
(*) Fixed some minor compilation issues
(*) Moved "using namespace std;" out of headers, where they didn't belong; used
    new (temporary) preprocessor macro PGSTD to do this
(*) Made ToString() static, removed unneeded memset(), made buffer size adapt
    to sizeof(int)
(*) Made some constructors explicit
(*) Changed some const std::string & parameters to plain std::string
(*) Marked PgCursor::Cursor(std::string) as obsolescent (setter with same name
    as getter--bad style)
(*) Renamed some paramaters previously named "string"
(*) Introduced size_type typedef for number of tuples in result set
(*) PgTransaction now supports re-opening after closing, and aborts if not
    explicitly committed prior to destruction

supported in 7.1.1, here is a patch to that alter_table.sgml that documents
it.

collected by ANALYZE.  Also, add some modest amount of intelligence to
guesses that are used for varlena columns in the absence of any ANALYZE
statistics.  The 'width' reported by EXPLAIN is finally something less
than totally bogus for varlena columns ... and, in consequence, hashjoin
estimating should be a little better ...
