It adds a WITH OIDS option to the copy command, which allows
dumping and loading of oids.
If a copy command tried to load in an oid that is greater than
its current system max oid, the system max oid is incremented. No
checking is done to see if other backends are running and have cached
oids.
pg_dump as its first step when using the -o (oid) option, will
copy in a dummy row to set the system max oid value so as rows are
loaded in, they are certain to be lower than the system oid.
pg_dump now creates indexes at the end to speed loading

I've enclosed two patches. The first affects Solaris compilability. The
bug stems from netdb.h (where MAXHOSTNAMELEN is defined on a stock
system). If the user has installed the header files from BIND 4.9.x,
there will be no definition of MAXHOSTNAMELEN. The patch will, if all
else fails, try to include <arpa/nameser.h> and set MAXHOSTNAMELEN to
MAXDNAME, which is 256 (just like MAXHOSTNAMELEN on a stock system).
The second patch adds aliases for "ISNULL" to "IS NULL" and likewise for
"NOTNULL" to "IS NOT NULL". I have not removed the postgres specific
ISNULL and NOTNULL. I noticed this on the TODO list, and figured it would
be easy to remove.
The full semantics are:
[ expression IS NULL ]
[ expression IS NOT NULL ]
