Peter Eisentraut 3164721462 SSL: Support ECDH key exchange
This sets up ECDH key exchange, when compiling against OpenSSL that
supports EC.  Then the ECDHE-RSA and ECDHE-ECDSA cipher suites can be
used for SSL connections.  The latter one means that EC keys are now
usable.

The reason for EC key exchange is that it's faster than DHE and it
allows to go to higher security levels where RSA will be horribly slow.

There is also new GUC option ssl_ecdh_curve that specifies the curve
name used for ECDH.  It defaults to "prime256v1", which is the most
common curve in use in HTTPS.

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
