92fc8b41e5 Add the long options to the psql --help display, where they were curiously
missing.

Since this touches most lines of the help output, also change the mix of
puts and printf calls to printf everywhere, for easier code editing and
reviewing.

9de59fd191 Add a -w/--no-password option that prevents all password prompts to all
programs that have a -W/--password option.

In passing, remove the ancient PSQL_ALWAYS_GET_PASSWORDS compile option.

9491c82f71 This makes all the \dX commands (most importantly to most: \df) work
like \dt does, in that it requires a \dXS to see system items.

cae565e503 SQL/MED catalog manipulation facilities
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

cdc197cf31 Improve psql's \dC command to take a pattern parameter. Casts are shown
if their source or target types match the pattern (using the same definition
of "match" as \dT does).  Per recent discussion.

f7108ce06b Fix psql \h output for case of no parameters (ie, list all the known commands)
to format properly for the actually needed column width, instead of having
a hard-wired assumption about the longest command name length.  Also make it
respond to the current screen width.  In passing, const-ify the constant
table.

140d4ebcb4 Tsearch2 functionality migrates to core. The bulk of this work is by
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.

Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.

07bae9c099 Please find enclosed a patch that lets you use \c to connect
(optionally) to a new host and port without exiting psql.  This
eliminates, IMHO, a surprise in that you can now connect to PostgreSQL
on a differnt machine from the one where you started your session. This
should help people who use psql as an administrative tool.

4cb27fef0a o Improve psql's handling of multi-line statements
Currently, while \e saves a single statement as one entry, interactive
	statements are saved one line at a time.  Ideally all statements
	would be saved like \e does.

c3a69c3b3b Attached is a patch that enhances the "\h" capability in psql. I often
find myself typing a command and then wanting to get the syntax for it.
So I do a ctrl-a and add a \h: but psql does not recognize the command,
because I have stuff attached to it (e.g. "alter table foobar"), so I
have to scroll over and delete everything except the name of the command
itself. This patch gives \h three chances to match: if nothing matches
the complete string (current behavior), it tries to match the first two
words (e.g. "ALTER TABLE"). If that fails, it tries to match the first
word (e.g. "DELETE").

2ff501590b Tag appropriate files for rc3
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

e17766c12e Trivial fix for a bug introduced in r1.94 of help.c: we want to only
include "\s" in \? output when readline is enabled, but that commit
supressed "\s" whether readline was enabled or not.
