- replace some function signatures of the form "some_type foo()" with
"some_type foo(void)"
- replace a few instances of a literal 0 being used as a NULL pointer;
there are more instances of this in the code, but I just fixed a few
- in src/backend/utils/mb/wstrncmp.c, replace K&R style function
declarations with ANSI style, remove use of 'register' keyword
- remove an "extern" modifier that was applied to a function definition
(rather than a declaration)
of '.' or '..'. Extend canonicalize_path() to trim off trailing occurrences
of these things, and use it to fix up paths where needed (which I think is
only after places where we trim the last path component, but maybe some
others will turn up). Fixes Josh's complaint that './initdb' does not
work.

performance front, but with feature freeze upon us I think it's time to
drive a stake in the ground and say that this will be in 7.5.

There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

extensive change then what was suggested. I found the file path.c that
contained a lot of "Unix/Windows" agnostic functions so I added a function
there instead and removed the PATHSEP declaration in exec.c altogether. All
to keep things from scattering all over the code.
I also took the liberty of changing the name of the functions
"first_path_sep" and "last_path_sep". Where I come from (and I'm apparently
not alone given the former macro name PATHSEP), they should be called
"first_dir_sep" and "last_dir_sep". The new function I introduced, that
actually finds path separators, is now the "first_path_sep". The patch
contains changes on all affected places of course.
I also changed the documentation on dynamic_library_path to reflect the
chagnes.
