f00da6d841 Allow the postmaster to accept changes in PGC_BACKEND GUC variables
from the config file, so that these changes will propagate to backends
started later.  Already-started backends continue to ignore changes
in these variables.

f9f258281e Create a GUC parameter max_files_per_process that is a configurable
upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).  The
default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't
affect the behavior.  But on platforms where the kernel promises far
more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of
file descriptors.  See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers
around 23-Dec-2000.

flexible about the extension of the graphic files, allow for other formats
in print output.  (Generating these formats is not implemented yet.)

Tom Lane
499abb0c0f Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between
existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features.  Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks.  All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption.  All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.

35b7601b04 Add an overall timeout on the client authentication cycle, so that
a hung client or lost connection can't indefinitely block a postmaster
child (not to mention the possibility of deliberate DoS attacks).
Timeout is controlled by new authentication_timeout GUC variable,
which I set to 60 seconds by default ... does that seem reasonable?

4a4abd4232 Generate index.html as the root file name of the documentation set,
rather than making index.html a symlink to the autogenerated name.
Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks
very well (MacOS X).

(The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make
targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.)

Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging.  Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.

264f8f2b6c Install dynamically loadable modules into a private subdirectory
under libdir, for a cleaner separation in the installation layout
and compatibility with binary packaging standards.  Point backend's
default search location there.  The contrib modules are also
installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the
default search path as well.  No changes in user interface
nevertheless.

33a82e7fd8 Here's some matching documentation, including some other
undocumented items in TD.

Should doc patches alse be sent to pgsql-patches, or do I
have to subscribe to pgsql-docs?

The archive link for pgsql-patches is broken, and I don't
see any patches in spot checking the archive for pgsql-docs.
