Ok. Here is a patch to make psql work on Win32 (as a console mode
application, of course).
It requires getopt.c to be in src/utils - works fine with the FreeBSD
version of it.

Also, the file win32.mak should go into src/bin/psql.

 and index name fields are pstrdup'd (copied) rather than reused.

cvs add'd two files for the tprintf() patch...

lock.patch

        I have rewritten lock.c cleaning up the code and adding better
        assert checking I have also added some fields to the lock and
        xid tags for better support of user locks. There is also a new
        function which returns an array of pids owning a lock.
        I'm using this code from over six months and it works fine.

config.patch

        remove old defines no more used in the code.

assert.patch

        adds a switch to turn on/off the assert checking if enabled at compile
        time. You can now compile postgres with assert checking and disable it
        at runtime in a production environment.

(Mark or Bruce?) It fixes a problem when cpp gives a warning when
precompiling /dev/null like:  "/dev/null", line 1: 1506-229 (W)
File is empty.  This leads to a hangup when doing the description
load during initdb, since stderr also ends up in the global1.description
and local1_template1.description

stderr has to be redirected to /dev/null:

 statements:
 - the table definition with a default clause referencing the sequence;
 - a CREATE SEQUENCE statement;
 - a UNIQUE constraint, which expands into a CREATE INDEX statement.
This is not a perfect solution, since the sequence will remain even if
 the table is dropped. Also, there is no absolute protection on updating
 the sequence column.

 is_sequence in the ColumnDef structure.

 Had too many in some cases because there was already a routine
 taking care of it.

 Formerly came just after early exit from loop for command nodes,
 so missed some cases.

Thanks. But patches for src/backend/catalog/Makefile seems missing
in the current source tree. Please apply attached patches.

It also includes some corrections to src/backend/util/mb/wchar.c.
