HP-UX (all versions) requires shared libraries to have execute
permission, and really needs them to be exactly mode 555 for
performance reasons.  The standard configure/install procedure
installs libpq.sl as mode 644, which DOES NOT WORK.

The attached patch modifies the makefiles to distinguish
INSTL_LIB_OPTS (install mode for ordinary libraries) from
INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS (mode for shared libs), and adds a test
to configure to set INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS="-m 555" when on HP-UX.

        Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and
Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for
'-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha
template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every
instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be
the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 &
DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.

And the next update. Now you can use only parts of a struct like this:

exec sql select a into :struct.string from foo;

1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from
pg_proc.h.

2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in
fmgr.h.

3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having
it
   made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile  *hack*hack*hack*

4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement,
also
    changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header.

5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for
the
   #defines removed in item #1.

6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake.

Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h
was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first
include.

"access/genam.h"
 ->"access/relscan.h"
   ->"utils/rel.h"
     ->"access/strat.h"
       ->"access/skey.h"
	 ->"fmgr.h"

So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully
just made it clearer to the programmer.

  This patch fix the Makefiles in contrib/{pginterface, spi,
miscutil, int8, ip_and_mac, sequence, soundex, string, userlock,
array, datetime} to install their modules in one directory(lib/modules/).

Here's a fix for a tiny memory leak in PQsetdb/PQfinish.

(Analysis of a running program indicates there are several others, but
this is the only obvious one I saw in the code).

This fixes a problem in ResultSet.getDate() when the column is NULL
(reported by Vincent Partington <Vincent.Partington@nmg.nl>)

And fixes a problem with Field's (ResultSet.getObject() was proving to be
slow as it repetedly send queries for oid -> name mapping - fixed by
creating a cache. (reported by Mario Ellebrecht <ellebrec@nads.de>)

PGDOCS in Makefile.custom will supercede defaults here, I think...

	gram.c updated
	scan.c updated
	ecpg/Makefile added LDFLAGS
	configure requires sfio for those systems with it installed...

This will force the aix compiler to insert trapping code to
check for division by zero for the 4.1 port.

Here is a pair of patches that (I hope) finish the configuration
issues with tcl/tk and make the recognition of the two packages
completely parallel in organization.  This should make future changes
easier to maintain.

Hope to see this in 6.2.2.

Marc, I overlooked this file it should be included in the source.  Oops
Also the binary file is only 1.2 meg not 2.5 meg. Oops again.
