(ie, WHERE x > lowbound AND x < highbound).  It's not very bright yet
but it does something useful.  Also, rename intltsel/intgtsel to
scalarltsel/scalargtsel to reflect usage better.  Extend convert_to_scalar
to do something a little bit useful with string data types.  Still need
to make it do something with date/time datatypes, but I'll wait for
Thomas's datetime unification dust to settle first.  Eventually the
routine ought not have any type-specific knowledge at all; it ought to
be calling a type-dependent routine found via a pg_type column; but
that's a task for another day.

Also, remove SearchSysCacheStruct, which was unused and grotty.

fact the same, so I suggest they could be the same file say
geometry-positive-zeros.out, as the main difference seems to be not printing
eg. (0,-0). In src/test/regress/expected, I propose

rm int2-i386-netbsd.out int4-i386-netbsd.out
mv geometry-hppa1.1.out geometry-positive-zeros.out
rm geometry-hppa2.0.out geometry-i386-netbsd.out

and the following patch to resultmap. I have only tested the netbsd results
on i386, but think that in all probability the differences will be the same
for other ports. If it turns out not to be the case, at least we might find
out.

Attached is a small fix for a stupid mistake I made in comment.c
- an attempt to drop a non-existent comment would dump core :-(.
