review/feedback if anyone is interested and can spend the time. But I'd
also love to get this committed and address changes as incremental
patches ;-), so if there are no objections, please apply.
Below I'll give a synopsis of the changes. More detailed descriptions
are now in a new doc directory under contrib/dblink. There is also a new
dblink.test.sql file which will give a pretty good overview of the
functions and their use.

objections.
Major changes:
- removed cursor wrap around input sql to allow for remote
execution of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
- dblink now returns a resource id instead of a real pointer
- added several utility functions
I'm still hoping to add explicit cursor open/fetch/close support before
7.3 is released, but I need a bit more time on that.
On a somewhat unrelated topic, I never got any feedback on the
unknownin/out patch and the mb_substring patch. Is there anything else I
need to do to get those applied?
