of user-defined functions (forget 'C' vs 'newC', instead require an info
function to be present for new-style functions). Also update some other
out-of-date commentary.
with an -fsigned-char/-funsigned-char setting opposite to that of libc,
thus breaking the convention that 'undefined' values returned by
localeconv() are represented by CHAR_MAX. It is sheer stupidity that
gcc even has such a switch --- it's just as bad as the structure-packing
control switches offered by the more brain-dead PC compilers --- and
as for the behavior of Linux distribution vendors who set RPM_OPT_FLAGS
differently from the way they built libc, well, words fail me...
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.

Context diff this time.
Remove -m486 compile args for FreeBSD-i386, compile -O2 on i386.
Compile with only -O on alpha for codegen safety.
Make the port use the TEST_AND_SET for alpha and i386 on FreeBSD.
Fix a lot of bogus string formats for outputting pointers (cast to int
and %u/%x replaced with no cast and %p), and 'Size'(size_t) are now
cast to 'unsigned long' and output with %lu/
Remove an unused variable.

cloned, rather than always cloning template1. Modify initdb to generate
two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.
Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain
in its virgin as-initdb'd state. pg_dumpall now dumps databases with
restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.
This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
initdb forced!
adds the facility to set the program name used in syslog.
(this includes the other ones).
One gotcha, the parser doesn't like special characters in strings.
For example, i tried to use pg-test, and if failed the parse coming
from the postgresql.conf file.
I don't think it's a showstopper..
