Tom Lane 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.

Bruce Momjian f8645018bc Back out // compiler flag. 2000-03-23 22:25:36 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 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?
