hardcoding a 'template0' check, per suggestion from Alvaro.
This might fix a problem where someone has allowed 'template0'
connections, but it is a cleaner approach even if doesn't fix the
bug.
This allows the index to reference the pg_notify() subsection specifically,
rather than Notes section of the NOTIFY reference page more generally.

This avoids a formatting problem in the PDF output. In the HTML output this
isn't necessary, but we've done similar things elsewhere in the documentation
so I think it's OK to do it here, too. I've refrained from breaking a longish
error message which also causes problems for the PDF output, because that would
make the HTML output look wrong.

is specified. Per bug report from Russell Smith and ensuing discussion.
Since this is a corner case behavioral change, I'm going to be conservative
and not back-patch it.
In passing, also rename the RestoreOptions field for the -C switch to
something less generic than "create".
that is a regular table or view owned by a superuser. This prevents a
trojan horse attack whereby any unprivileged SQL user could create such a
table and insert code into it that would then get executed in other users'
sessions whenever they call pltcl functions.
Worse yet, because the code was automatically loaded into both the "normal"
and "safe" interpreters at first use, the attacker could execute unrestricted
Tcl code in the "normal" interpreter without there being any pltclu functions
anywhere, or indeed anyone else using pltcl at all: installing pltcl is
sufficient to open the hole. Change the initialization logic so that the
"unknown" code is only loaded into an interpreter when the interpreter is
first really used. (That doesn't add any additional security in this
particular context, but it seems a prudent change, and anyway the former
behavior violated the principle of least astonishment.)
Security: CVE-2010-1170
fundamentally insecure. Instead apply an opmask to the whole interpreter that
imposes restrictions on unsafe operations. These restrictions are much harder
to subvert than is Safe.pm, since there is no container to be broken out of.
Backported to release 7.4.
In releases 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 this also includes the necessary backporting of
the two interpreters model for plperl and plperlu adopted in release 8.2.
In versions 8.0 and up, the use of Perl's POSIX module to undo its locale
mangling on Windows has become insecure with these changes, so it is
replaced by our own routine, which is also faster.
Nice side effects of the changes include that it is now possible to use perl's
"strict" pragma in a natural way in plperl, and that perl's $a and
$b variables now work as expected in sort routines, and that function
compilation is significantly faster.

Security: CVE-2010-1169
* There is no chmod() on Windows.
* Must always use the 3-parameter version of open()
* There is no dynloader.h - but it also appears unnecessary on all platforms
* Don't include shlobj.h because it causes compile errors, and from what I can
see it's not actually used. This may need to be added back for mingw
and/or cygwin in the worst case.
mkinstalldirs used to handle no arguments, but mkdir doesn't.
Also remove the .SILENT setting, that was previously removed from
Makefile.global as well.
