a7b8de40db Rearrange steps in recommended install procedure to something more
reasonable, ie configure and build first, then optionally run regress
tests using new parallel (non-installed) test method, and only then
backup and kill old installation.

7c81a130a4 Fix erroneous claim that 'postmaster -S' leaves the postmaster running
in the foreground --- in fact, it auto-detaches.

0edcee3459 Fold PQsetenv working state into PGconn, rather than trying to maintain
it in a separate object.  There's no value in keeping the state separate,
and it creates dangling-pointer problems.  Also, remove PQsetenv routines
from public API, until and unless they are redesigned to have a safer
interface.  Since they were never part of the documented API before 7.0,
it's unlikely that anyone is calling them.

4ddc50dffa Hmm, absolute pathnames for the copy makes sense. I'll whip up that
patch in a second. Should be sufficent to just make sure the first
character is a '/', right?

f945f46193 Modify lexing of multi-char operators per pghackers discussion around
16-Mar-00: trailing + or - is not part of the operator unless the operator
also contains characters not present in SQL92-defined operators.  This
solves the 'X=-Y' problem without unduly constraining users' choice of
operator names --- in particular, no existing Postgres operator names
become invalid.

Also, remove processing of // comments, as agreed in the same thread.

1763a7c1ea Tweak GROUP BY so that it will still accept result-column names, but only
after trying to resolve the item as an input-column name.  This allows us
to be compliant with the SQL92 spec for queries that fall within the spec,
while still accepting the same out-of-spec queries as 6.5 did.  You'll only
lose if there is an output column name that is the same as an input
column name, but doesn't refer to the same value.  7.0 will interpret
such a GROUP BY spec differently than 6.5 did.  No way around that, because
6.5 was clearly not spec compliant.
