functions. This allows these functions to work correctly with Unicode and
other multibyte encodings. Per prior discussion.
Also, revert my earlier change to move installation path mashing from
Makefile.global to configure. Turns out not to work well because configure
script is working with unexpanded variables, and so fails to match in
cases where it should match.
several different module Makefiles with it. Also, do any adjustment
of installation paths during configure, rather than every time Makefile.global
is read.

but this commit gets the bulk of the picayune diffs in place.

all the code that looks for other binaries. I move FindExec into
port/exec.c (and renamed it to find_my_binary()). I also added
find_other_binary that looks for another binary in the same directory as
the calling program, and checks the version string.
The only behavior change was that initdb and pg_dump would look in the
hard-coded bindir directory if it can't find the requested binary in the
same directory as the caller. The new code throws an error. The old
behavior seemed too error prone for version mismatches.
conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

our job easier for porting.
Should fix Darwin compile and other platforms without mucking with the

Allow additional thread flags to be added via port templates.
Change thread flag names to PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS to match new

Remove thread locking for non-thread-safe functions, instead throw a
compile error.
Platforms will have to re-run tools/thread to record their thread
safety.
* configure + Makefile changes
* shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
* PATH env var separator differences
* missing win32 rand functions added
* placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h
To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):
* child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)
* dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls
* dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro
* slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)
Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...
