Note that this still has some bugs. The functionality is there though, it's just a matter of fixing the bugs now.
Cleaned up error handling in preprocessor.
- Variables that are out of scope, were not removed all the time.
- Make a varchar NULL set everything to 0 when not using indicators.
- Synced parser.
extensive change then what was suggested. I found the file path.c that
contained a lot of "Unix/Windows" agnostic functions so I added a function
there instead and removed the PATHSEP declaration in exec.c altogether. All
to keep things from scattering all over the code.
I also took the liberty of changing the name of the functions
"first_path_sep" and "last_path_sep". Where I come from (and I'm apparently
not alone given the former macro name PATHSEP), they should be called
"first_dir_sep" and "last_dir_sep". The new function I introduced, that
actually finds path separators, is now the "first_path_sep". The patch
contains changes on all affected places of course.
I also changed the documentation on dynamic_library_path to reflect the
chagnes.

environment variable processing to libpq.
The patch also adds code to our client apps so we set the environment
variable directly based on our binary location, unless it is already
set. This will allow our applications to emit proper locale messages
that are generated in libpq.
the four functions.

patch-tmp-schema.txt contains the following bits:
*) Changes pg_namespace_aclmask() so that the superuser is always able
to create objects in the temp namespace.
*) Changes pg_namespace_aclmask() so that if this is a temp namespace,
objects are only allowed to be created in the temp namespace if the
user has TEMP privs on the database. This encompasses all object
creation, not just TEMP tables.
*) InitTempTableNamespace() checks to see if the current user, not the
session user, has access to create a temp namespace.
The first two changes are necessary to support the third change. Now
it's possible to revoke all temp table privs from non-super users and
limiting all creation of temp tables/schemas via a function that's
executed with elevated privs (security definer). Before this change,
it was not possible to have a setuid function to create a temp
table/schema if the session user had no TEMP privs.
patch-area-path.txt contains:
*) Can now determine the area of a closed path.
patch-dfmgr.txt contains:
*) Small tweak to add the library path that's being expanded.
I was using $lib/foo.so and couldn't easily figure out what the error
message, "invalid macro name in dynamic library path" meant without
looking through the source code. With the path in there, at least I
know where to start looking in my config file.

It was necessary to touch in grammar and create a new node to make home
to the new syntax. The command is also supported in E
CPG. Doc updates are attached too. Only superusers can change the owner
of the database. New owners don't need any aditional
privileges.

several different module Makefiles with it. Also, do any adjustment
of installation paths during configure, rather than every time Makefile.global
is read.
timezone code and other places.
Remove elog() calls from find_my_exec; do fprintf(stderr) instead. We
can then remove the exec.c handling in the makefile because it doesn't
have to be built to suppress elog calls.
find_my_exec/find_other_exec(). Remove passing of progname to these
functions as they can find that out from argv[0], which they already
have.
Make get_progname return const char *, and update all progname variables
to be const char *.
conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
