src/Makefile.shlib.  Updated all the makefiles that try to build shlibs
to include that file instead of having duplicate (and mostly incomplete)
copies of shared-library options.  It works on HPUX, a lot better than it
did before in fact, but there's a chance I broke some other platforms.
At least now you only have to fix one place not six...

Get the permissions right, don't overwrite real files with symlinks, etc.
plpgsql and odbc still aren't fully up to speed, but at least they don't crash and burn...

only once at the top of the file.  I'm surprised include/config.h wasn't
being overwritten from interfaces/odbc/config.h.in ...

problem:

    'tclsh' still had to be found even if --with-libs (or
--with-libraries) was
    specified to configure.

    --with-libs is really an overloaded option.  It really should only be used
    to specify additions directories to search in order to file needed
    libraries.  It was also being used to locate the *Config.sh files.

Now, src/interfaces/perl5/Makefile.PL is pretty simple, and instead we
work a little harder in src/interfaces/Makefile.

This time, src/interfaces/perl5/Makefile.PL no longer needs to be autoconf'd.

libtcl has been installed as a non-shared library.  pltcl cannot be
built in that situation; we want to do nothing and let the overall Postgres
build complete, rather than failing.

DataDir is set after read_pg_options if postgres is called
interactively.  If postgres is forked by postgres DataDir is read from
the PGDATA enviromnent variable set by the postmaster and this explains
while the bug disappears.  I have written this patch but I don't like
it. Any better idea?

        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS_SL) -o $@ ecpglib.sho typename.sho.o

must be
        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS_SL) -o $@ ecpglib.sho.o typename.sho.o

compile out of the tar file on Solaris with the SUN 5.0 compilers.
These compilers will be needed if you wan to compile the libpg++
interface without using the gcc/g++. The SC4.2 compilers do not
understand the string class.

The first patch changes the ecpg intermediate shared library
name from *.sho to *.sho.o so that the SUN compiler will
allow it to be used in conjunction with the -o option.

Add entry for undocumented (?) KSQO.

Change claim of "no limit" on maximum date for datetime type to
 more realistic 1465001 AD. Thanks Tatsuo for pointing this out :)
Clean up markup.

Currently not included in the UG, and this now only has a discussion of
 partial indices by Paul Aoki culled from the mailing lists.
But, didn't want to loose it...

Include soft links in the installation directory for major version number.
Use the existing $(DLSUFFIX) parameter to name shared library.
