Attached are two patches:

 - installdoc.patch contains an additional paragraph on the win32 console
   codepage for the chapter "Installation on Windows"
   Due to a lack of SGML-tools, I have only edited the text and not tested
   the SGML code - please check it before merging into the CVS branch.

 - psqlcodepage.patch adds the warning about a problematic codepage to psql.

changes between 7.3 and 7.4, for example quoting and function names.

were they doing here anyway?

this should help people get started in 7.4 as well.

Also, make :alnum: character class directly dependent on isalnum()
rather than guessing.

to be less dangerous, and often faster as well.  ExprState trees are
not kept across transaction boundaries; this eliminates problems with
resource leakage in failed transactions.  But by keeping them in a
per-transaction EState, we can safely arrange for a single ExprState
to be shared by all the expression evaluations done in a given plpgsql
function call.  (Formerly it seemed necessary to create and destroy an
ExprState for each exec_eval_simple_expr() call.)  This saves time in
any scenario where a plpgsql function executes more than one expression.
Seems to be about as fast as 7.3 for simple cases, and significantly
faster for functions that do a lot of calculations.

post-abort cleanup hooks.  I'm surprised that we have not needed this
already, but I need it now to fix a plpgsql problem, and the usefulness
for other dynamically loaded modules seems obvious.

in the RI triggers for ON DELETE/UPDATE SET DEFAULT.  The code depended
way too much on knowledge of plan structure, and yet still would fail
if the generated query got rewritten by rules.

method.  Fix a number of places where shared libraries were linked without
mentioning all the libraries they depend on; the Darwin and AIX ports
are known to require this, and it doesn't seem to hurt any other supported
platforms.  (Hence, remove code in pl/tcl makefile that tried to avoid
mentioning other libs if not needed.)

A cast is included in the dump output if any of the objects does
not belong to a system namespace and all of the non-system namespace
objects belong to dumped namespaces. System namespace is defined
as nspname begins with "pg_".
