d69a419e68 Remove any -arch switches given in ExtUtils::Embed's ldopts from our
perl_embed_ldflags setting.  On OS X it seems that ExtUtils::Embed is
trying to force a universal binary to be built, but you need to specify
that a lot further upstream if you want Postgres built that way; the only
result of including -arch in perl_embed_ldflags is some warnings at the
plperl.so link step.  Per my complaint and Jan Otto's suggestion.

9d182ef002 Update of install-sh, mkinstalldirs, and associated configury
Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit).  install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.

install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.

Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d.  For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).

c29d7f02c2 Use DocBook XSL stylesheets for man page building
This switches the man page building process to use the DocBook XSL stylesheet
toolchain.  The previous targets for Docbook2X are removed. configure has been
updated to look for the new tools.  The Documentation appendix contains the
new build instructions.  There are also a few isolated tweaks in the
documentation to improve places that came out strangely in the man pages.

da4b900176 Advance the minimum required version of "flex" from 2.5.4 to 2.5.31, and
update documentation accordingly.  This is required in order to have support
for a reentrant scanner.  I'm committing this bit separately in order to have
an easy reference if we later decide to make the minimum something different
(like 2.5.33).

7cc514ac65 Upgrade to Autoconf 2.63
This upgrades the configure infrastructure to the latest Autoconf version.
Some notable news are:
 - The workaround for the broken fseeko() test is gone.
 - Checking for unknown options is now provided by Autoconf itself.
 - Fixes for Mac OS X

8d355d7bbf Fix the makefiles to fail cleanly if Perl is needed but not present. This
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically.  Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually.  Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull.  Per a complaint from Robert Haas.

a65ed83f8a Allow configure to deal with Python 3.0. Changes were:
print foo --> print(foo)
string.join(...) --> ' '.join(...)

These changes are backward compatible.

The actual plpython module appears to need significant updates to support
Python 3.0, though.  This change just relieves interested developers from
having to deal with Autoconf.

623f8a0969 Modify the recently-added probe for -Wl,--as-needed some more, because RHEL-4
vintage Linux is even more broken than we realized: a link to libreadline
will succeed, and fail only at runtime.  It seems that an AC_TRY_RUN test
is the only reliable way to check whether this is really safe.  Per report
from Tatsuo.

2dad10f467 Make another try at using -Wl,--as-needed to suppress linking of unnecessary
shared libraries.  We've tried this before and had problems with libreadline
not linking properly on some platforms, but that seems to be a libreadline
bug that may have been fixed by now.  In any case, it's early enough in the
8.4 devel cycle that we can afford to have some transient breakage while
we work out any portability problems.

On Darwin, we try -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs, which seems to be the equivalent
incantation there.

7861d72ea2 Modify the float4 datatype to be pass-by-val. Along the way, remove the last
uses of the long-deprecated float32 in contrib/seg; the definitions themselves
are still there, but no longer used.  fmgr/README updated to match.

I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c
too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions.  At the same time,
remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared
STRICT).

I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too.  The choices for
representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-(

Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.

0b9f93e6b0 Code the unknown options check without using m4 diversions. Otherwise this
code relies on the checking macro actually being called at the end, or the
automatic undiversion will produce garbage.  These sort of implicit
side-effects undermine the modularity of the macros and happen to break the
ODBC driver which makes use of them.

Also put the warnings at the very end of configure, so there is an even
better chance of seeing them.
