latest fixes make it safe or not, but we won't find out if no one builds
it, eh?

add --without-tk option to disable Tk.  We don't need the AC_PATH_XTRA
test because tkConfig.sh already contains all the information about how to
compile and link with X.  Also make sure that libpq is up to date for
libpgtcl.  Remove executable bits from pgaccess.sh, but add it to pgaccess.

7.0.2 release. Sorry, if that's fixed ages ago - I don't track
development versions of PostgreSQL.

Patch is just a little bit tested (some valid functions created and
successfully run as well as some erroneous ones created and emitted proper
error messages when used).

My platform is FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT (with perl 5.6.0 provided in the
base system).

to one another. Sort out builddir vs srcdir variable namings. Remove some
now obsoleted make variables.

The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.

Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.

Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.

where someone wants to build these but hasn't configured for Tcl.

all the standard semantics. Also get rid of Makefile.in's on the
way and instead declare all variables in Makefile.global.

that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.

Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.

Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.

Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.

apparently copied from the makefile for the perl5 interface module,
which needs it for reasons explained in src/interfaces/Makefile.
But none of those reasons apply to plperl.

failed to add some of Jan's files :(
