Search for versioned perl library instead of using hardcoded name on Windows. Backpatch to release 8.3

We should probably have a better way to do this (meaning
something not hardcoded) eventually, but this fixes the
problem for 8.4.

been removed. This should unbreak the msvc build again.

Also, if linked against other versions than the default MSVCRT library
(for example the MSVC build which links against MSVCRT80), also update
the cache in the default MSVCRT at the same time.

This should fix the issues with setting LC_MESSAGES on the MSVC build.

Original patch from Hiroshi Inoue and Hiroshi Saito, much rewritten
by me.

Should fix recent buildfarm breakage.

the * character at the beginning of a pattern, and it does not match
subdomains.

Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation
from port, along with the autoconf check for it.

This uses the function fnmatch() which is not available on all platforms
(notably Windows), so import the implementation from NetBSD into src/port.

since it's now just a SQL module and no C code.

Use #define/#ifdef instead of sed to fix include files, this should work on Windows too.

Per red Windows buildfarm members.

Improve logic for finding object files on OBJS lines in contrib Makefiles. If this unbreaks buildfarm mastodon, apply everywhere.

Original patch from Hiroshi Saito, modified by me.

we restricted exports from ecpglib.

buildfarm failures.

duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles.  We still need Makefile
control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend
src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before.

(Still needs to build the .sql output files, but this handles the C part
of the build)

against a Unix server, and Windows-specific server-side authentication
using SSPI "negotiate" method (Kerberos or NTLM).

Only builds properly with MSVC for now.

Fixes builds from tarballs where the file is pre-generated.

Yoshiyuki Asaba

Add ability to add "prefix include directories", and use it...

With this, ecpg regression tests now pass on MSVC builds.

regression driver into two parts and reusing half of it. Required to
run ECPG tests without a shell on MSVC builds.

Fix ECPG thread tests for MSVC build (incl output files).

on directory name. Fixes the generation of .sql files in contrib/spi.

Per complaint from Dave Page.

 ecpglib supports it.
Change configure (patch from Bruce) and msvc build system to no longer require
 pthreads on win32, since all parts of postgresql can be thread-safe using the
 native platform functions.

way as their directory (notably xml2/pgxml and intarray/_int)

Uses same underlying tech as before, but not the sysv emulation layer.

what each script does.

skeleton scripts calling them. To make it easier for the buildfarm
(or other "outside callers") to use these modules directly.

Per suggestion from Andrew Dunstan.
