0416c9c18b Probe $PROVE not $PERL while checking for modules needed by TAP tests.
Normally "prove" and "perl" come from the same Perl installation,
but we support the case where they don't (mainly because the MSys
buildfarm animals need this).  In that case, AX_PROG_PERL_MODULES
is completely the wrong thing to use, because it's checking what
"perl" has.  Instead, make a little TAP test script including the
required modules, and run that under "prove".

We don't need ax_prog_perl_modules.m4 at all after this change,
so remove it.

Back-patch to all supported branches, for the buildfarm's benefit.
(In v10, this also back-patches the effects of commit 264eb03aa.)

ef1a785fa4 Remove configure-time probe for DocBook DTD.
Checking for DocBook being installed was valuable when we were on the
OpenSP docs toolchain, because that was rather hard to get installed
fully.  Nowadays, as long as you have xmllint and xsltproc installed,
you're good, because those programs will fetch the DocBook files off
the net at need.  Moreover, testing this at configure time means that
a network access may well occur whether or not you have any interest
in building the docs later.  That can be slow (typically 2 or 3
seconds, though much higher delays have been reported), and it seems
not very nice to be doing an off-machine access without warning, too.

Hence, drop the PGAC_CHECK_DOCBOOK probe, and adjust related
documentation.  Without that macro, there's not much left of
config/docbook.m4 at all, so I just removed it.

Back-patch to v11, where we started to use xmllint in the
PGAC_CHECK_DOCBOOK probe.

16fbac39ff Fix configure's AC_CHECK_DECLS tests to work correctly with clang.
The test case that Autoconf uses to discover whether a function has
been declared doesn't work reliably with clang, because clang reports
a warning not an error if the name is a known built-in function.
On some platforms, this results in a lot of compile-time warnings about
strlcpy and related functions not having been declared.

There is a fix for this (by Noah Misch) in the upstream Autoconf sources,
but since they've not made a release in years and show no indication of
doing so anytime soon, let's just absorb their fix directly.  We can
revert this when and if we update to a newer Autoconf release.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

5b2526c838 Add configure infrastructure (--with-llvm) to enable LLVM support.
LLVM will be used for *optional* Just-in-time compilation
support. This commit just adds the configure infrastructure that
detects LLVM.

No documentation has been added for the --with-llvm flag, that'll be
added after the actual supporting code has been added.

c254970ad6 Make configure check for IPC::Run when --enable-tap-tests is specified.
The TAP tests mostly don't work without IPC::Run, and the reason for
the failure is not immediately obvious from the error messages you get.
So teach configure to reject --enable-tap-tests unless IPC::Run exists.
Mostly this just involves adding ax_prog_perl_modules.m4 from the GNU
autoconf archives.

This was discussed last year, but we held off on the theory that we might
be switching to CMake soon.  That's evidently not happening for v10,
so let's absorb this now.

eccfef81e1 ICU support
Add a column collprovider to pg_collation that determines which library
provides the collation data.  The existing choices are default and libc,
and this adds an icu choice, which uses the ICU4C library.

The pg_locale_t type is changed to a union that contains the
provider-specific locale handles.  Users of locale information are
changed to look into that struct for the appropriate handle to use.

Also add a collversion column that records the version of the collation
when it is created, and check at run time whether it is still the same.
This detects potentially incompatible library upgrades that can corrupt
indexes and other structures.  This is currently only supported by
ICU-provided collations.

initdb initializes the default collation set as before from the `locale
-a` output but also adds all available ICU locales with a "-x-icu"
appended.

Currently, ICU-provided collations can only be explicitly named
collations.  The global database locales are still always libc-provided.

ICU support is enabled by configure --with-icu.

e97af6c8bf Replace our hacked version of ax_pthread.m4 with latest upstream version.
Our version was different from the upstream version in that we tried to use
all possible pthread-related flags that the compiler accepts, rather than
just the first one that works. That change was made in commit
e48322a6d6, to work-around a bug affecting GCC
versions 3.2 and below (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8888),
although we didn't realize that it was a GCC bug at the time. We hardly care
about that old GCC versions anymore, so we no longer need that workaround.

This fixes the macro for compilers that print warnings with the chosen
flags. That's pretty annoying on its own right, but it also inconspicuously
disabled thread-safety, because we refused to use any pthread-related flags
if the compiler produced warnings. Max Filippov reported that problem when
linking with uClibc and OpenSSL. The warnings-check was added because the
workaround for the GCC bug caused warnings otherwise, so it's no longer
needed either. We can just use the upstream version as is.

If you really want to compile with GCC version 3.2 or older, you can still
work-around it manually by setting PTHREAD_CFLAGS="-pthread -lpthread"
manually on the configure command line.

Backpatch to 9.5. I don't want to unnecessarily rock the boat on stable
branches, but 9.5 seems like fair game.

c18bb990d3 Ok, I've split todays commit into three, the first two already done had some
bits in JDBC & the first set of tools into contrib.

This is the third, and deals with enabling JDBC to be compiled with the main
source.

What it does is add a new option to configure: --with-java

This option tells configure to look for ant (our build tool of choice) and
if found, it then compiles both the JDBC driver and the new tools as part
of the normal make.

Also, when the postgresql install is done, all the .jar files are also
installed into the ${PGLIB}/java directory (thought best to keep then separate)

Now I had some conflicts when this applied so could someone please double check
that everything is ok?

compile and link with X.  Also make sure that libpq is up to date for
libpgtcl.  Remove executable bits from pgaccess.sh, but add it to pgaccess.

44d1abebb4 Big warnings cleanup for Solaris/GCC. Down to about 40 now, but
we'll get there one day.

Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.

Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.

06cd0f1a32 Substituted new configure test for types of accept()
Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process
made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming
adjustments.

Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests.

Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl.
And it breaks equally often. :(

6de89c9ab7 Moved the intricacies of the perl interface build into its own makefile
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.

Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.

Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.

Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.
