its that time ... tag it for release

up release to rc5

upgrade tags to rc4

the src/tools/copyright script.

Tag appropriate files for rc3

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

tag files for rc2

its presence.  This amounts to desupporting Kerberos 5 releases 1.0.*,
which is small loss, and simplifies use of our Kerberos code on platforms
with Red-Hat-style include file layouts.  Per gripe from John Gray and
followup discussion.

gripe from John Gray.  Also fix thinko in pltcl Makefile: if a special
Tcl include directory is specified, that ought to be searched first.

tag configure for rc1 ..

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

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

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.

update us to beta5

actual executable location.  This allows people to continue to use
setups where, eg, postmaster is symlinked from a convenient place.
Per gripe from Josh Berkus.

Kris Jurka

make sure we tag configure.in as beta4 as well ...

  -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith

Check whether the version of GCC we are using supports any of:

  -Wdeclaration-after-statement
  -Wendif-labels
  -Wold-style-definition

And add the supported flags to CFLAGS.

* Links with -leay32 and -lssleay32 instead of crypto and ssl. On win32,
"crypto and ssl" is only used for static linking.

* Initializes SSL in the backend and not just in the postmaster. We
cannot pass the SSL context from the postmaster through the parameter
file, because it contains function pointers.

* Split one error check in be-secure.c. Previously we could not tell
which of three calls actually failed. The previous code also returned
incorrect error messages if SSL_accept() failed - that function needs to
use SSL_get_error() on the return value, can't just use the error queue.

* Since the win32 implementation uses non-blocking sockets "behind the
scenes" in order to deliver signals correctly, implements a version of
SSL_accept() that can handle this. Also, add a wait function in case
SSL_read or SSL_write() needs more data.
