ffce35fe6f Add a tip showing how functions on composite types can be used to 
emulate computed fields.  I suppose this is why the Berkeley boys made
it work that way in the first place, but the docs never said so anyplace.

33a6dcfcce 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
<   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.
>   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
>
>   This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the
>   install targets.  Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
>   is already possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain
>   spaces and then copy the install to a directory with spaces.

2ff501590b Tag appropriate files for rc3 
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

bbb2e21e14 I was recently surprised to find that EXTRACT's day of the week 
numbering is different than TO_CHAR's ditto. EXTRACT starts at 0==Sunday
while TO_CHAR starts at 1==Sunday.

A suggestion for two documentation notes is attached as a patch to
current CVS HEAD.

480777e56c Allow 'ELSEIF' as an alternative to 'ELSIF' in PL/PgSQL. There have been 
several reports of users being confused when they attempt to use ELSEIF
and run into trouble due to PL/PgSQL's lax parser. The parser will be
improved for 8.1, but we can fix most of the problem by allowing ELSEIF
for now.
