d42d31e78e Alter documentation of boolean type, add example. Someone figured that it
wasn't clear that the "boolean type" was actually called "boolean".  Add
tip about "casting" booleans using CASE.

Spell check whole file.

everywhere.

      strpos is missing the result in the result column, it should be 2
      Also to_ascii might need a result but maybe not.

d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

c1f5ed6394 When making xrefs to refsects, the linkend should point to the refsect and
the endterm to the title element, not both to the title.  At least
docbook2man prefers it that way.
