member offset.

per bug report from Stefan Hadjistoytchev.  There are some cases
where the dot notation works, but there are more where it doesn't.
Eventually ought to consider fixing the parser to allow cases like
func().field, but for now this is the simplest patch.

have an INSERT...SELECT as the first or only action.  Per bug report
from Sergio Pili.

The bug was that any insert or update would fail if the returned oid was
larger than a signed int.  Since OIDs are unsigned int's it was
a bug that the code used a java signed int to deal with the values.  The bug
would result in the error message: "Unable to fathom update count".
While fixing the bug, it became apparent that other code made a similar
assumption about OIDs being signed ints.  Therefore some methods that returned
or took OIDs are arguements also needed to be changed.
Since we are so close to the 7.2 release I have added new methods that
return longs and deprecated the old methods returning ints.  Therefore all
old code should still work without requiring a code change to cast from long to int.  Also note that the methods below are PostgreSQL specific extensions to
the JDBC api are are not part of the spec from Sun, thus it is unlikely that
they are used much or at all.

The deprecated methods are:
  ResultSet.getInsertedOID()
  Statement.getInsertedOID()
  Serialize.store()
  Connection.putObject()
and are replaced by:
  ResultSet.getLastOID()
  Statement.getLastOID()
  Serialize.storeObject()
  Connection.storeObject()
All the deprecated methods returned int, while their replacements return long

This patch also fixes two comments in MD5Digest that the author Jeremy Wohl
submitted.

The default diff switches prevented regression tests from complaining,
but that doesn't make it correct.
