- I was unable to compile ecpg due to the ":=" instead of "=" in defining
LIBPQDIR and some other variables in Makefile.global.in
- pg_id (and also pg_encoding) executable was not removed during "make
clean" - there was no $(X) appended to the executable name for rm
- I have added result for int2, int4, float8 and geometry regression tests
        - int2, int2 - yet another message for too large numbers ;-)
        - float8 - it is problably a bug in the newlib C library - it has no
error message for numbers with exponent -400
        - geometry - differences in precision of float numbers
- I have added appropriate lines into resultmap file
- I have modified the script regress.sh to use "case" statement when testing
the hostname. For cygwin the script is called with "i686-pc-cygwin" (on my
machine) as a parameter and this was not catched with the "if" statement.
The check was done for PORTNAME (win) and not HOSTNAME (i.86-pc-cygwin*).

The patch for described modifications is included.

All this modifications can be applied to "current" tree too.
The compilation was done on CygwinB20.1 with gcc 2.95, cygipc library 1.05.
The binaries were able to run also on the newest development snapshot
(2000-03-25).

multibyte encodings. These cannot be used as a backend/database encoding
(OK to use as a client encoding).

actually from an alpha-dec-osf machine, but as far as can be told the
two platforms have the same ideas about past DST rules.

Make similar changes to hpux templates.  Might want to do the same for
other foo_cc and foo_gcc pairs, but will desist until I hear from
someone who uses those platforms.

and do not arbitrarily pull in CFLAGS instead.  This caters to platforms
where the C++ compiler does not like all the same switches the C compiler
wants.

In the event of an elog() while the mode was set to immediate write,
there was no way for it to be set back to the normal delayed write.
The mechanism was a waste of space and cycles anyway, since the only user
was varsup.c, which could perfectly well call FlushBuffer directly.
Now it does just that, and the notion of a write mode is gone.

from gcc.  Which wasn't actually a code bug, but I don't like warnings.

Add some chapters on new topics.
Change to referencing OASIS/Docbook v3.1 rather than Davenport/Docbook v3.0
Grepped for and fixed apparent tag mangling from emacs
 "Normalize" operation. Should be the last of those.

Add PL/perl docs from Mark Hollomon.
Put language-specific docs into the User's Guide, and move the rest
 to the Programmer's Guide.

newer Alpha platforms.

broken almost since the word go ... I guess no one ever ran it ...

 single integers, and lists of names, without surrounding them with quotes.
Remove all tokens which are defined as operators from ColID and ColLabel
 to avoid precedence confusion. Thanks to Tom Lane for catching this.

to use -g ... especially not when this can cause real problems on some
platforms ...

inclusions of system headers more consistent.

'#include <string>' work in the local C++ compiler.
