Tom Lane 3fd03932fc Ignore libedit/libreadline while probing for standard functions.
Some versions of libedit expose bogus definitions of setproctitle(),
optreset, and perhaps other symbols that we don't want configure to pick up
on.  There was a previous report of similar problems with strlcpy(), which
we addressed in commit 59cf88da91, but the
problem has evidently grown in scope since then.  In hopes of not having to
deal with it again in future, rearrange configure's tests for supplied
functions so that we ignore libedit/libreadline except when probing
specifically for functions we expect them to provide.

Per report from Christoph Berg, though this is slightly more aggressive
than his proposed patch.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short, incomplete list is below:

PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Java - http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/
PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
