explicitly.  This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still
smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have
painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST
pointer later on.  Per discussion with Greg Stark.

processing the segment file.  These operations are heavyweight enough
that an extra PS display set shouldn't bother anyone.

testing).  Combine the formerly independent opclasses for the various
ISN types into opfamilies.  The latter causes some extra bleating from
opr_sanity, since the module doesn't provide complete sets of cross-type
operators, but it's still a good idea because it will give the planner
more information to work with.  The missing cross-type operators no longer
pose a risk of unexpected planner errors in 8.3, so there's no need to
insist on filling them in (and I gather it wouldn't be very sound
semantically to add them all).

locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe).  C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.

I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.

This seems essential after addition of the lazy-XID patch.  Also some
minor code cleanup in write_csvlog().

gram.y should try harder to distinguish * from "*" --- the latter is a legal
column name per spec, and someday we ought to treat it that way.  However
fixing that is too invasive for a back-patch, and it's too late for the 8.3
cycle too.  So just reduce the Assert to a plain elog for now.  Per report

- %r option in recovery.conf sends last restartpoint to recovery command

- %r used in pg_standby, updated README

- doc on Warm Standby now mentions pg_standby and %r

- log_restartpoints recovery option emits LOG message at each restartpoint

- end of recovery now displays last transaction end time, as requested

- restart archiver if needed to carry away WAL files at shutdown
