Tom Lane 0d2b1f305d Invent start_proc parameters for PL/Tcl.
Define GUCs pltcl.start_proc and pltclu.start_proc.  When set to a
nonempty value at the time a new Tcl interpreter is created, the
parameterless pltcl or pltclu function named by the GUC is called to
allow user-controlled initialization to occur within the interpreter.
This is modeled on plv8's start_proc parameter, and also has much in
common with plperl's on_init feature.  It allows users to fully
replace the "modules" feature that was removed in commit 817f2a586.

Since an initializer function could subvert later Tcl code in nearly
arbitrary ways, mark both GUCs as SUSET for now.  It would be nice
to find a way to relax that someday; but the corresponding GUCs in
plperl are also SUSET, and there's not been much complaint.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
