Bruce Momjian 558fae16e3 The attached patch enables the contrib subtree to build cleanly under
Cygwin with the possible exception of mSQL-interface.  Since I don't
have mSQL installed, I skipped this tool.

Except for dealing with a missing getopt.h (oid2name) and HUGE (seg),
the bulk of the patch uses the standard PostgreSQL approach to deal with
Windows DLL issues.

I tested the build aspect of this patch under Cygwin and Linux without
any ill affects.  Note that I did not actually attempt to test the code
for functionality.

The procedure to apply the patch is as follows:

    $ # save the attachment as /tmp/contrib.patch
    $ # change directory to the top of the PostgreSQL source tree
    $ patch -p0 </tmp/contrib.patch

Bruce Momjian 60ea34b046 Changes:
* reverse the change #include <> -> "" in krb.c.
  It _must not_ include files in "."
* Makefile update.  Inconsistent var usage and SHLIB was
  not set.

Now it should work with all external libs.

Bruce Momjian cb5427ee47 I would like to do a interface change in pgcrypto. (Good
timing, I know :))  At the moment the digest() function returns
hexadecimal coded hash, but I want it to return pure binary.  I
have also included functions encode() and decode() which support
'base64' and 'hex' encodings, so if anyone needs digest() in hex
he can do encode(digest(...), 'hex').

Main reason for it is "to do one thing and do it well" :)

Another reason is if someone needs really lot of digesting, in
the end he wants to store the binary not the hexadecimal result.
It is really silly to convert it to hex then back to binary
again.  As I said if someone needs hex he can get it.

Well, and the real reason that I am doing encrypt()/decrypt()
functions and _they_ return binary.  For testing I like to see
it in hex occasionally, but it is really wrong to let them
return hex.  Only now it caught my eye that hex-coding in
digest() is wrong.  When doing digest() I thought about 'common
case' but hacking with psql is probably _not_ the common case :)
