    Implement a preliminary 'template' facility for procedural languages, · e0dedd05
    Tom Lane authored
    as per my recent proposal.  For now the template data is hard-wired in
    proclang.c --- this should be replaced later by a new shared system
    catalog, but we don't want to force initdb during 8.1 beta.  This change
    lets us cleanly load existing dump files even if they contain outright
    wrong information about a PL's support functions, such as a wrong path
    to the shared library or a missing validator function.  Also, we can
    revert the recent kluges to make pg_dump dump PL support functions that
    are stored in pg_catalog.
    While at it, I removed the code in pg_regress that replaced $libdir
    with a hardcoded path for temporary installations.  This is no longer
    needed given our support for relocatable installations.
