24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and 
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.

2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified 
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i

A better workaround for the sentence would be something like:

        "and it also happens that the user always has permission"

Looks easier to read, I think.

3969f2924b Revise GEQO planner to make use of some heuristic knowledge about SQL, namely 
that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there
are not.  Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't
fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins.  These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4.  Consequently,
adjust the default GEQO parameters.  I also modified the way geqo_effort is
used so that it affects both population size and number of generations;
it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality
tradeoff.  Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO
seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.

54c8e821b8 In my mind there were two categories of open issues 
a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about
     outputting this format)
and
  b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current
     postgresql shorthand of
         '1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute
     in favor of the ISO-8601
         'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month.

Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that
did not break backward compatability, including the ability to
output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to
iso8601basic.

Interval values can now be written as  ISO 8601 time intervals, using
the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with
the character 'P', followed  by a string of values followed
by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and
time parts of the interval.

005a1217fb Massive overhaul of pg_dump: make use of dependency information from 
pg_depend to determine a safe dump order.  Defaults and check constraints
can be emitted either as part of a table or domain definition, or
separately if that's needed to break a dependency loop.  Lots of old
half-baked code for controlling dump order removed.

7ce9b7c0d8 This patch adds a new GUC var, "default_with_oids", which follows the 
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

dd01cfe1c4 Remove possibility to specify an installation root after --with-krbx and 
--with-openssl options.  This creates too much risk to pick up the wrong
directory accidentally (for example when there are lib64 directories), and
does not really help much with contemporary installation layouts.
