There is still no effective difference but it will kick in once setuid
functions exist (not included here). Make old getpgusername() alias for
current_user.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
(the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).
Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
too. Right?
IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.
* to_ascii:
- gcc, is it correct now? :-)
In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().

I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly
look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-)
This patch updates:
* Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl)
* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"
If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.
A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...). Remove last few
references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8
now. The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.
that RAND_MAX applies to them, since it doesn't. Instead add a
config.h parameter MAX_RANDOM_VALUE. This is currently set at 2^31-1
but could be auto-configured if that ever proves necessary. Also fix
some outright bugs like calling srand() where srandom() is appropriate.
