modules are built. Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before. Specifically,
- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname. The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.
- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.
- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
has been reinvented about four different times throughout history (aix,
cygwin, win32, darwin/linux) and a lot of the concepts are actually shared,
which the code now shows better.
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.
installations whose pg_config program does not appear first in the PATH.
Per gripe from Eddie Stanley and subsequent discussions with Fabien Coelho
and others.
pg_regress: there's no other way to cope with testing a relocated
installation. Seems better to call it --psqldir though, since the
only thing we need to find in that case is psql. It'd be better if
we could use find_other_exec, but that's not happening unless we are
willing to install pg_regress alongside psql, which seems unlikely
to happen.
This allows it to be used on Windows without installing mingw
(though you do still need 'diff'), and opens the door to future
improvements such as message localization.

no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good
reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static
libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references. Removing
the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some
platforms.
of postgres.imp file into BE_DLLLIBS macro. This makes the AIX build
work more like the Windows and Darwin builds, which have similar requirements
to mention a backend library when linking shared libraries that will be
dynamically loaded into the backend.
for testing PLs and contrib_regression for testing contrib, instead of
overwriting the core system's regression database as formerly done.

in terms of macro 'rpathdir', as I proposed a few weeks ago. In itself
this commit shouldn't change the behavior at all, but it opens the door
to using special rpaths for the PL shared libraries, as seems to be
needed for plperl in particular.
$(LD) -x -Bshareable to $(CC) -shared on OpenBSD (I suspect this
should be carried over to the other two as well, but will refrain
pending suggestions from people who actually use those platforms).
Per Stefan Kaltenbrunner.
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.
(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
it simplifies/changes several makefiles.
(2) the documentation reflects the change.
(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

method. Fix a number of places where shared libraries were linked without
mentioning all the libraries they depend on; the Darwin and AIX ports
are known to require this, and it doesn't seem to hurt any other supported
platforms. (Hence, remove code in pl/tcl makefile that tried to avoid
mentioning other libs if not needed.)
