8237d89c0f Support fake root install, separate build dir, dependency tracking, our
choice of compiler and flags, uninstall, and peculiar Python installation
layouts for PyGreSql.  Also install into site-packages now, as officially
recommended.  And pgdb.py is also installed now, used to be forgotten.

2f3bd9eb88 Check for jakarta-ant before ant, in case 'ant' is the screen saver program.
Then, run a small reality test with $ANT to see whether it works.

e542036461 Native Language Support (NLS)
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.

psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided.  In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.

bbc3920fe9 PL/Python should build portably now, if you can get over the fact that
there's no shared libpython.  Test suite works as well. Also, add some
documentation.

0d5407e6e0 Throw error if Ant is not found and Java is requested. Remove redundant
AC_SUBST that messed up the diversions and thus the configure output.

23e41fb7fb Add configure check for -lunix, for QNX.
Recode test for equality of source and build directory using 'test -ef',
because even using pwd you might not get equal strings.  Thanks, QNX.

2660803697 Only look for bison as YACC; other yaccs need to be selected explicitly.
When no suitable YACC is configured, supply useful informational messages
to users.  (Same way flex has been handled for a while.)

5610b6d9cb Only use termcap xor [n]curses, depending on what readline needs. Solaris
has problems when linking with both.

e9c936ff38 Remove rangechecks on errno; just call strerror unconditionally. This
eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr
exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc.  The
downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway,
and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke.
This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss,
and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.

optimized away completely.

6b70f3862c Also test for 'void *' as third arg of accept() (as on Solaris 7 and 8),
but take it as 'int *' instead.

Add real test for whether ld -R works on Unixware.

Rename --enable-uniconv to --enable-unicode-conversion.

Install shlibs mode 755 by default, since 644 causes gratuitous complaints
from ldd et al. on some systems.

7267fdd7a3 Add some configure checks for DocBook and related tools. With a somewhat
standard installation layout it should be possible to build the HTML
and print documentation without additional manual setup.

dfda21e7a6 Add configure check to see whether <string.h> and <strings.h> may both be
included, and then include <strings.h> if so.  Several systems already
needed <strings.h> anyway.  Some new systems that claim to conform to the
Unix 9x "standard" do not declare str[n]casemp() in string.h, and C99
compilers will not like that.

waiting for input.  From Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>.

0f5169b4af New config.guess and config.sub with Darwin support (from official GNU
source).  Adjust resultmap accordingly and fix some other regexps.

3daa17173b Don't call AC_SUBST (in libtool.m4) before AC_INIT. The m4 diversions get
messed up and we end up with the comments from included files in the output
"configure".

12e7558c76 Add check for GNU or not GNU ld, needed to pick the right export_dynamic
flags for Solaris.  The test itself is straight from libtool.

805e431a38 Add support for VPATH builds, that is, building somewhere else than in the
source directory.  This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".".  (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)

Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS).  Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.

664ce79dd8 Fixes for Cygwin, with help from Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>.
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

f428d053ce Revise Tcl/Tk configuration. Make missing Tcl after --with-tcl an error,
add --without-tk option to disable Tk.  We don't need the AC_PATH_XTRA
test because tkConfig.sh already contains all the information about how to
compile and link with X.  Also make sure that libpq is up to date for
libpgtcl.  Remove executable bits from pgaccess.sh, but add it to pgaccess.

353371874f Replace brain-dead Autoconf macros AC_ARG_{ENABLE,WITH} with something
that's actually useful, robust, consistent.

Better plan to generate aclocal.m4 as well: use m4 include directives,
rather than cat.

f03fc94e7d New configure test for flex, which recognizes only flex but does so in all
incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.

662f6a557c Fix AC_FUNC_ACCEPT_ARGTYPES to accept `const struct sockaddr *' as second
argument, change the order of tests for the third argument to be safe
against missing prototypes, and make it fail hard if none of the
combinations succeed.

06cd0f1a32 Substituted new configure test for types of accept()
Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process
made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming
adjustments.

Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests.

Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl.
And it breaks equally often. :(

6de89c9ab7 Moved the intricacies of the perl interface build into its own makefile
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.

Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.

Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.

Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.

5b9d0d9a5c Moved configure script from src/ to the top level directory. Moved
configuration helper things into config/ dir. Adjusted some relative paths
in makefiles.
