they used to be required to appear in.
Also, some changes from Tom Lane to create a FULL option for VACUUM;
it doesn't do anything yet, but I needed to change many of the same
files to make that happen, so now seemed like a good time.

layouts for PyGreSql. Also install into site-packages now, as officially
recommended. And pgdb.py is also installed now, used to be forgotten.

redirections between the build files, which didn't work completely. Now
you just go to the directory of your choice and run make. Clean up the
build files to have a logical order, fix the unnecessary rebuilds, prevent
the deleting targets from removing files they're not responsible for. Ant
1.3 does not have a bug. It deletes directories just fine if you follow
the documentation.
constraint. This case (a) is useless, (b) violates SQL92, and
(c) is certain to cause a failure downstream when we try to create
an index with duplicated column names. So give an appropriate error
message instead of letting the index failure occur. Per report from
Colin Strickland. NOTE: currently, CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo(f1,f1)
still fails with 'cannot insert duplicate key' error. Should we
change that too? What about functional indexes?

the setTimestamp method is called. Thanks to Dave Harkness for this
suggestion.

--verbose messages, which had not been considered so far. Output to the
terminal should okay now; comments written into the dump are still English

useful as yet, since its primary source of information is (full) VACUUM,
which makes a concerted effort to get rid of free space before telling
the map about it ... next stop is concurrent VACUUM ...
