Included are patches intended for allowing PostgreSQL to handle
multi-byte charachter sets such as EUC(Extende Unix Code), Unicode and
Mule internal code. With the MB patch you can use multi-byte character
sets in regexp and LIKE. The encoding system chosen is determined at
the compile time.

To enable the MB extension, you need to define a variable "MB" in
Makefile.global or in Makefile.custom. For further information please
take a look at README.mb under doc directory.

(Note that unlike "jp patch" I do not use modified GNU regexp any
more. I changed Henry Spencer's regexp coming with PostgreSQL.)

Ok, this fixes three things:

1. It seems (from tests submitted by two people with JBuilder) that
   JBuilder expects a responce from ResultSetMetaData.getPrecision() &
   getScale() when used on non numeric types. This patch makes these
   methods return 0, instead of throwing an exception.

2. Fixes a small bug where getting the postgresql type name returns null.

3. Fixes a problem with ResultSet.getObject() where getting it's string
   value returns null if you case the object as (PGobject), but returns
   the value if you case it as it's self.

 Was ignoring second wildcard.

 Bug introduced in mid-January.

Patch1:

Postgres thinks dist_pl (dist of a point to a line) is expecting a box (603)
for the right arg, but it really should be a line (628).

Otherwise the left & right args match those of dist_pb (dist of a point to a
box) two lines further down.


Patch2:

Anyways, these two functions take a path (602) whereas in pg_proc.h they are
listed as taking a lseg (601).

Still has questionable code for some locale-specific strings.

Incorporate a few typo fixes.

Implement installation and cleaning.

 rather than just executing ../Makefile.

Should redo this before v6.3 release if possible.

The following patch will change the meaning of the isinf function in the
HAVE_FPCLASS section from "not finite" to "is infinity".

1. Make 'all' works without complaint.  Don't have to add the .exp
   files to the files list.  They are made automagically when
   making the respective shared lib file.

   Only port that actually uses EXPSUFF (from makefiles/Makefile.*)
   is Aix, so if this breaks anybody else, let me know, asap.

2. Make 'clean' actually cleans up correctly.  Previously, it would
   leave the .o files in C-code directory.

3. Changed references to reflect new location of .c files.

4. Added DELETE statements to complex.source so that it tidies up
   when done.  Previously, it would leave things in pg_amop,
   pg_amproc and pg_opclass.  Only possible to do this with the
   new SUBSELECT code in 6.3.  Nice work, fellas...

   Not deleting the index entries would cause a non-fatal error if
   complex.sql was run again on the same database.  Much tidier now.

5. Corrected the README.  obj directory hasn't existed since Bryan
   redid the make way back when.  Also changed the snipet from psql
   to match the current version. POSTGRES95?!?  I don't think so. :)
