provide just a boolean 'amcanorder', instead of fields that specify the
sort operator strategy numbers.  We have decided to require ordering-capable
AMs to use btree-compatible strategy numbers, so the old fields are
overkill (and indeed misleading about what's allowed).

pgsql-patches discussion of September 20, 2006. Bump the catversion.

Backpatch to 8.2.X for new initdbs.

match the postgresql.conf file.  Also add units to descriptions that
lacked them.  Wording improvements.  Mention pg_settings.unit as the way
to find the default units for setting.

Backpatch to 8.2.X.

Previously, disabled triggers were not displayed any differently than
enabled ones, which was quite misleading. Patch from Brendan Jurd.

representation of equivalence classes of variables.  This is an extensive
rewrite, but it brings a number of benefits:
* planner no longer fails in the presence of "incomplete" operator families
that don't offer operators for every possible combination of datatypes.
* avoid generating and then discarding redundant equality clauses.
* remove bogus assumption that derived equalities always use operators
named "=".
* mergejoins can work with a variety of sort orders (e.g., descending) now,
instead of tying each mergejoinable operator to exactly one sort order.
* better recognition of redundant sort columns.
* can make use of equalities appearing underneath an outer join.

AMs that need this information (currently gist and hash).

don't actually have to link with libpq here at all, so remove it.

is deleted.  A backend about to unlink a file now sends a "revoke fsync"
request to the bgwriter to make it clean out pending fsync requests.  There
is still a race condition where the bgwriter may try to fsync after the unlink
has happened, but we can resolve that by rechecking the fsync request queue
to see if a revoke request arrived meanwhile.  This eliminates the former
kluge of "just assuming" that an ENOENT failure is okay, and lets us handle
the fact that on Windows it might be EACCES too without introducing any
questionable assumptions.  After an idea of mine improved by Magnus.

The HEAD patch doesn't apply cleanly to 8.2, but I'll see about a back-port
later.  In the meantime this could do with some testing on Windows; I've been
able to force it through the code path via ENOENT, but that doesn't prove that
it actually fixes the Windows problem ...

* After Markos patch, now builds pgcrypto without zlib again
* Updates README with xml info
* xml requires xslt and iconv
* disable unnecessary warning about __cdecl()
* Add a buildenv.bat called from all other bat files to set up things
like PATH for flex/bison. (Can't just set it before calling, doesn't
always work when building from the GUI)
