8b4ff8b6a1 Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot. 
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might: 
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

shy of correctness), generally try to make it look more like Postgres
coding conventions.

bb764e94ce Produce a clean failure in configure when dtrace is selected but cannot be 
found.  Besides stopping those early who have no dtrace installed
whatsoever, this will also alert those who have dtrace in /usr/sbin, which
might not be in the path, which would produce confusing failures much later
in the build process.

Add documentation about pointing configure to find dtrace.

7a28de2052 pg_dump can now dump large objects even in plain-text output mode, by 
using the recently added lo_create() function.  The restore logic in
pg_restore is greatly simplified as well, since there's no need anymore
to try to adjust database references to match a new set of blob OIDs.

6f7fc0bade Cause initdb to create a third standard database "postgres", which 
unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane.  All per recent
pghackers discussions.

72c53ac3a7 Allow kerberos name and username case sensitivity to be specified from 
postgresql.conf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:

1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.

3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.

4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)

513e89b44b please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item 
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.
