where you state a format and arguments. the old behavior required
each appendStringInfo to have to have a sprintf() before it if any
formatting was required.
Also shortened several instances where there were multiple appendStringInfo()
calls in a row, doing nothing more then adding one more word to the String,
instead of doing them all in one call.
Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,

One of the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
not only be a builtin PL. Instead I would prefer a defined
interface for PL implemetations.
==========================================
What follows is a set of diffs that cleans up the usage of BLCKSZ.
As a side effect, the person compiling the code can change the
value of BLCKSZ _at_their_own_risk_. By that, I mean that I've
tried it here at 4096 and 16384 with no ill-effects. A value
of 4096 _shouldn't_ affect much as far as the kernel/file system
goes, but making it bigger than 8192 can have severe consequences
if you don't know what you're doing. 16394 worked for me, _BUT_
when I went to 32768 and did an initdb, the SCSI driver broke and
the partition that I was running under went to hell in a hand
basket. Had to reboot and do a good bit of fsck'ing to fix things up.
The patch can be safely applied though. Just leave BLCKSZ = 8192
and everything is as before. It basically only cleans up all of the
references to BLCKSZ in the code.
If this patch is applied, a comment in the config.h file though above
the BLCKSZ define with warning about monkeying around with it would
be a good idea.

(Also cleans up some of the #includes in files referencing BLCKSZ.)
==========================================
Makefile.global.
End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port". Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself. Still
work to be done though :)
Use qsort to sort array of tuples for nextrun when current
run is done and put into leftist tree from sorted array!
It's much faster and creates non-bushy tree - this is ve-e-ery good
for perfomance!
2. Limit number of tuples in leftist trees:
- put one tuple from current tree to disk if limit reached;
- end run creation if limit reached by nextrun.
3. Avoid mergeruns() if first run is single one!
