Cygwin with the possible exception of mSQL-interface.  Since I don't
have mSQL installed, I skipped this tool.

Except for dealing with a missing getopt.h (oid2name) and HUGE (seg),
the bulk of the patch uses the standard PostgreSQL approach to deal with
Windows DLL issues.

I tested the build aspect of this patch under Cygwin and Linux without
any ill affects.  Note that I did not actually attempt to test the code
for functionality.

The procedure to apply the patch is as follows:

    $ # save the attachment as /tmp/contrib.patch
    $ # change directory to the top of the PostgreSQL source tree
    $ patch -p0 </tmp/contrib.patch

plus a few trivial improvements in wording.

CatalogCacheFlushRelation (formerly called SystemCacheRelationFlushed)
how to distinguish tuples it should flush from those it needn't; this
means a relcache flush event now only removes the catcache entries
it ought to, rather than zapping the caches completely as it used to.
Testing with the regression tests indicates that this considerably
improves the lifespan of catcache entries.  Also, rearrange catcache
data structures so that the limit on number of cached tuples applies
globally across all the catcaches, rather than being per-catcache.
It was a little silly to have the same size limit on both, say,
pg_attribute caches and pg_am caches (there being only four possible
rows in the latter...).  Doing LRU removal across all the caches
instead of locally in each one should reduce cache reload traffic
in the more heavily used caches and improve the efficiency of
cache memory use.

TopTransactionContext, rather than using Dllist.  This simplifies and
speeds up the code, and eliminates a former risk of coredump when
out of memory (since the old code didn't bother to check for malloc
failure).  It also moves us one step closer to retiring Dllist...

detected sooner in backend startup, and is treated as an expected error
(it gives 'Sorry, too many clients already' now).  This allows us not
to have to enforce the MaxBackends limit exactly in the postmaster.
Also, remove ProcRemove() and fold its functionality into ProcKill().
There's no good reason for a backend not to be responsible for removing
its PROC entry, and there are lots of good reasons for the postmaster
not to be touching shared-memory data structures.

rules and triggers by OID.  So, even though we have no cross-references
in the system catalogs to pg_rewrite.oid or pg_trigger.oid, we'd better
have unique indexes on them.  Put back pg_rewrite_oid_index, which I
mistakenly removed a few days ago, and add pg_trigger_oid_index.

Thanks to Steve McClure <smcclure@racemi.com> for the patch.

pg_stats to provide controlled (and, hopefully, more readable) access
to statistics.  Comments on definition of pg_stats welcome.
I didn't force initdb, but the rules regress test will fail until you
do one.

I didn't force initdb, but the additions to the 'privileges' regress

database, including system catalogs (but not the shared catalogs,
since they don't really belong to his database).  This is per recent
mailing list discussion.  Clean up some other code that also checks
for database ownerness by introducing a test function is_dbadmin().

initdb unless you are using inet types.

inet(text), cidr(text): convert a text value into inet/cidr
set_masklen(inet): set masklen on the inet value

Patch also contains regression checks for these functions.

datatypes, not only strings.  parse_hook is useless for bool, I suppose,
but it seems possibly useful for int and double to apply variable-specific
constraints that are more complex than simple range limits.  assign_hook
is definitely useful for all datatypes --- we need it right now for bool
to support date cache reset when changing Australian timezone rule setting.
Also, clean up some residual problems with the reset all/show all patch,
including memory leaks and mistaken reset of PostPortNumber.  It seems
best that RESET ALL not touch variables that don't have SUSET or
USERSET context.

manipulation of rtable/jointree by planner.  Rewriter was generating
actions that shared rtable/jointree substructure, which caused havoc
when planner got to the later actions that it'd already mucked up.
