This fixes a longstanding but up to now benign bug in the way pg_dumpall
was built. The bug was exposed by recent code adjustments. The Makefile
does not use $(OBJS) to build pg_dumpall, so this fix removes their source
files from the pg_dumpall object and adds in the one source file it
consequently needs.
distro version of perl.

Backpatch to 9.1 where it applies cleanly. A simple workaround is available for earlier
branches, and further effort doesn't seem warranted.
We should generally use left-recursion not right-recursion to parse lists.
Bison hasn't got any built-in way to check for this type of inefficiency,
and I didn't find anything on the net in a quick search, so I wrote a
little Perl script to do it. Add to src/tools/ so we don't have to
re-invent this wheel next time we wonder if we're doing anything stupid.
Currently, the only place that seems to need fixing is plpgsql's stmt_else
production, so the problem doesn't appear to be common enough to warrant
trying to include such a test in our standard build process. If we did
want to do that, we'd need a way to ignore some false positives, such as
a_expr := '-' a_expr
Add option for parallel streaming of the transaction log while a
base backup is running, to get the logfiles before the server has
removed them.
Also add a tool called pg_receivexlog, which streams the transaction
log into files, creating a log archive without having to wait for
segments to complete, thus decreasing the window of data loss without
having to waste space using archive_timeout. This works best in
combination with archive_command - suggested usage docs etc coming later.
Use the CommitDate not the AuthorDate, as the former is representative of
the order in which things went into the main repository, and the latter
isn't very; we now have instances where the AuthorDate is as much as a
month before the patch really went in. Also, get rid of the "commit order
inversions" heuristic, which turns out not to do anything very desirable.
Instead we just print commits in strict timestamp order, interpreting the
"timestamp" of a merged commit as its timestamp on the newest branch it
appears in. This fixes some cases where very ancient commits were being
printed relatively early in the report.
on Windows. ecpglib doesn't link with libpgport, but picks and compiles
the .c files it needs individually. To cope with that, move the setlocale()
wrapper from chklocale.c to a separate setlocale.c file, and include that
in ecpglib.

Avoid compile problems with defines being redefined after the removal of
the #if blocks.
Change script to use shell functions for simplicity.
