Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause
use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in
EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the
documentation minimally usable.
* Consider parallel processing a single query
This would involve using multiple threads or processes to do optimization,
sorting, or execution of single query. The major advantage of such a
feature would be to allow multiple CPUs to work together to process a
single query.
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.
(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
it simplifies/changes several makefiles.
(2) the documentation reflects the change.
(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

bigint variants). Clean up some inconsistencies in error message wording.
Fix scanint8 to allow trailing whitespace in INT64_MIN case. Update
int8-exp-three-digits.out, which seems to have been ignored by the last
couple of people to modify the int8 regression test, and remove
int8-exp-three-digits-win32.out which is thereby exposed as redundant.
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.

I haven't mentioned any of
~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they
are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I
base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers.
Dominic Mitchell
Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's
absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a
mention in the documentation at some point.

of commands for which a transaction block should not be forced. Recognize
VACUUM and other PreventTransactionChain commands; handle nested /* .. */
comments correctly; handle multibyte encodings correctly.
