pointers, namely the catcache tuple fetch routines.  Also get rid of
the unused and possibly confusing 'size' field in struct cachedesc.
Since it doesn't allow for variable-length fields, anyone who
actually trusted it would likely be making a mistake...

Add options to configure to automatically build for Kerberos
support; no more editing of make files.

stored rules.  Bump catversion to reflect incompatibility.

was inappropriately relying on rel->rd_nblocks to tell if the LO is
empty (apparently a hack to get around a long-dead index bug), causing
misbehavior on a written-but-never-vacuumed LO.  Also, inv_read failed
to cope gracefully with 'holes' (unwritten regions) in the object.

we'll get there one day.

Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.

Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.

Move "query result" tables to left side of page (remove leading spaces).

--- ie, they're only called for side-effects.  Add a PG_RETURN_VOID()
macro and use it where appropriate.  This probably doesn't change the
machine code by a single bit ... it's just for documentation.

have'nt r un autoconf to create a new configure, I guess that's done by
the smapshot process, I had to remove a line from interface/odbc/
GNUMakefile to get it to build, it was a autoconf variable that looks to
not be used anymore, I am assuming that this is  ok.

the
tcl-spec in the Makefile.
The patch in the attachemant does this in the src/interfaces/libpgtcl
too

Thank you

functions that take pass-by-value datatypes.  Should be ready for
port testing ...

compatiblity with old rules.
