Partial support for BEOS (not sure whether second fork of grandchild
process needs these extra calls or not; someone who has BEOS will need
to test it).

clean up
ecpglib.

portability issues).  Caller-visible data structures are now allocated
on MAXALIGN boundaries, allowing safe use of datatypes wider than 'long'.
Rejigger hash_create API so that caller specifies size of key and
total size of entry, not size of key and size of rest of entry.
This simplifies life considerably since each number is just a sizeof(),
and padding issues etc. are taken care of automatically.

only if configure found it was safe to do so; do not assume const_cast
is available.

Some compilers are pickier about this than gcc is.

execution, so that it restarts correctly if query tree is used again.

from the config file, so that these changes will propagate to backends
started later.  Already-started backends continue to ignore changes
in these variables.

postmaster ... it should not be set in the postmaster itself.

upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).  The
default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't
affect the behavior.  But on platforms where the kernel promises far
more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of
file descriptors.  See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers
around 23-Dec-2000.

cleverer than it actually is ;-) Braces are good for you :-)

 1. gist__int_ops is now without lossy
 2. added sort entry in picksplit

flexible about the extension of the graphic files, allow for other formats
in print output.  (Generating these formats is not implemented yet.)

* HOLDER/HOLDERTAB rename to PROCLOCKLINK/PROCLOCKLINKTAG (Bruce)

Will return later.

rightmost on its tree level, we split 2/3 to the left and 1/3 to the
new right page, rather than the even split we use elsewhere.  The idea
is that when faced with a steadily increasing series of inserted keys
(such as sequence or timestamp values), we'll end up with a btree that's
about 2/3ds full not 1/2 full, which is much closer to the desired
steady-state load for a btree.  Per suggestion from Ann Harrison of
IBPhoenix.
