source directory even for out-of-tree builds. They are now alsl built in
the build tree. This should be more convenient for certain developers'
workflows, and shouldn't really break anything else.
Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit). install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.
install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.
Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d. For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).
The information on why the shared libraries are built the way they are
was not relevant to end users and has been made a mailing list archive

modules are built. Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before. Specifically,
- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname. The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.
- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.
- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
has been reinvented about four different times throughout history (aix,
cygwin, win32, darwin/linux) and a lot of the concepts are actually shared,
which the code now shows better.
be exported on Linux and Darwin. We already did this on Windows but
that's not enough, as evidenced by the fact that libecpg had an unexpected
dependency on one such symbol. We should try to do it on more platforms.
Fix ecpg's oversight, and bump libpq's major .so version number to reflect
the unwanted but nonetheless real ABI break.
no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good
reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static
libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references. Removing
the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some
platforms.

work more like the Windows and Darwin builds, which have similar requirements
to mention a backend library when linking shared libraries that will be
dynamically loaded into the backend.

The following patch might just do the former. Please try it out.

You were correct. This patch fixes it.

(.dylib format) on Mac OS X, while not messing up loadable modules for
the backend (which are the same kind of animal as a shared library on
every other platform, but not here). Also get the naming convention
to match OS X practice, viz libFOO.version.so not libFOO.so.version.
In support of that last, refactor code in Makefile.shlib to make it
easier to have platform-specific shlib naming conventions.
This patch is loosely based on the Fink project's current postgresql.patch.
Tested by yours truly on OS X 10.3.4; does anyone have 10.2.* to check
it on?
