Block elements with verbatim formatting (literallayout, programlisting,
screen, synopsis) should be aligned at column 0 independent of the surrounding
SGML, because whitespace is significant, and indenting them creates erratic
whitespace in the output. The CSS stylesheets already take care of indenting
the output.
Assorted markup improvements to go along with it.
update documentation accordingly. This is required in order to have support
for a reentrant scanner. I'm committing this bit separately in order to have
an easy reference if we later decide to make the minimum something different
(like 2.5.33).

some several times, and some not at all. So this unrolls all subroutine
calls.
This should fix the issues with clean deleting the wrong files reported

ever-changing numeric IDs. The new contrib docs were the biggest
offender, but some old stuff had the problem too. Also, rename a couple
of new contrib sgml files for consistency's sake.
ecpglib supports it.
Change configure (patch from Bruce) and msvc build system to no longer require

Attached are two patches:
- installdoc.patch contains an additional paragraph on the win32 console
codepage for the chapter "Installation on Windows"
Due to a lack of SGML-tools, I have only edited the text and not tested

- psqlcodepage.patch adds the warning about a problematic codepage to psql.
