Update wording:

< * Allow building with directories containing spaces
> * Allow building in directories containing spaces
< There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a

< into a directory that contains spaces. The first is probably not
< possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support
< spaces in path names. The second is possible with proper quoting in
< the makefiles. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
< is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and
< then copy the install to a directory with spaces.
> This is probably not possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools
> do not fully support quoting of paths with spaces.

> * Allow installing to directories containing spaces

Update item for install with spaces:
...
> There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a
> source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install
> into a directory that contains spaces. The first is probably not
> possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support
> spaces in path names. The second is possible with proper quoting in
> the makefiles. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
> is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and
> then copy the install to a directory with spaces.

Change planner to use the current true disk file size as its estimate of
...
a relation's number of blocks, rather than the possibly-obsolete value
in pg_class.relpages. Scale the value in pg_class.reltuples correspondingly
to arrive at a hopefully more accurate number of rows. When pg_class
contains 0/0, estimate a tuple width from the column datatypes and divide
that into current file size to estimate number of rows. This improved
methodology allows us to jettison the ancient hacks that put bogus default
values into pg_class when a table is first created. Also, per a suggestion
from Simon, make VACUUM (but not VACUUM FULL or ANALYZE) adjust the value
it puts into pg_class.reltuples to try to represent the mean tuple density
instead of the minimal density that actually prevails just after VACUUM.
These changes alter the plans selected for certain regression tests, so
update the expected files accordingly. (I removed join_1.out because
it's not clear if it still applies; we can add back any variant versions
as they are shown to be needed.)

Fix plperl and pltcl error handling per my previous proposal. SPI
...
operations are now run as subtransactions, so that errors in them
can be reported as ordinary Perl or Tcl errors and caught by the
normal error handling convention of those languages. Also do some
minor code cleanup in pltcl.c: extract a large chunk of duplicated
code in pltcl_SPI_execute and pltcl_SPI_execute_plan into a shared
subroutine.
