f85f43dfb5 Backend support for autocommit removed, per recent discussions. The
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON.  Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.

9ccaaf676f The attached patches change earthdistance to use the new cube functions
in one of the earth functions so that latitude and longitude to
cartesian coordinates conversion will be more accurrate. (Previously
a text string was built to provide as input which limited the accuracy
to the number of digits printed.)

The new functions were included in a recent patch to contrib/cube that has not
as yet been accepted as of yet.

I also added check constraints to the domain 'earth' since they are now
working in 7.4.

4c1383efd1 The attached patch defines functions for getting distances between
points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a
specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The
new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old
earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A
regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README
file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There
are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers.

24bebf0b72 I have included fixes to declare some floating point constants as double
instead of int, change the calculation method to use the haversine
formula
which is more accurrate for short distances, added a grant to public for
geo_distance and added a regression test.

I will resubmit the earth distance stuff based on cube after 7.3 is
released.
