following patches fix the problems (i.e., all regression tests pass)
in what I hope to be a platform-independent fashion.  The accomplish

is wrong and dangerous unless you are using contrib/string.  We really
need a thorough look at the issue of making the backend and the FE/BE
protocols completely 8-bit-clean for string data, but that's a task
for some future release.

fewer errors than there were.

newly-updated SGML reference pages, so I just inserted a comment that they
are obsolete.  If you want to transcribe the newer info into these pages,
be my guest.

a listen/notify condition name is a class or table name, 'cause it ain't.

important step towards making the driver compliant, and means that for
some Java applications and servlets, only a single database connection
is
needed, so in a sence this is a nice little show stopper for 6.4 (and
should still be backward compatible to 6.3.2).

debate was from Paul Vixie, who wanted INET to be the name covering
both IPV4 and IPV6.  The following kit makes the needed changes:

Here are two new patches for the Win32 support.

1) The patch based on the one from Hiroshi Inoue [Inoue@tpf.co.jp], to
load
Winsock.dll from libpq.dll.
2) A patch for psql.c to remove the call to WSAStartup(), since it is
not
required when it's done in libpq.dll.

I'm still looking for the possibility of having a crypt() function in
libpq.dll too, the same way getopt was included. Any chance of getting
this
before 6.4, or should we wait for the next one?

 Use @top-srcdir@ to find the right Makefile.global and use ODBCSRCDIR
 to point to this local directory.
Move non-platform-specific stuff to outside the if clauses.
Still need to move all platform-specific stuff to the templates.

 Requires --with-odbc specified in the standalone configure.

 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.
