Tom Lane 8d3e0906df Extend GB18030 encoding conversion to cover full Unicode range.
Our previous code for GB18030 <-> UTF8 conversion only covered Unicode code
points up to U+FFFF, but the actual spec defines conversions for all code
points up to U+10FFFF.  That would be rather impractical as a lookup table,
but fortunately there is a simple algorithmic conversion between the
additional code points and the equivalent GB18030 byte patterns.  Make use
of the just-added callback facility in LocalToUtf/UtfToLocal to perform the
additional conversions.

Having created the infrastructure to do that, we can use the same code to
map certain linearly-related subranges of the Unicode space below U+FFFF,
allowing removal of the corresponding lookup table entries.  This more
than halves the lookup table size, which is a substantial savings;
utf8_and_gb18030.so drops from nearly a megabyte to about half that.

In support of doing that, replace ISO10646-GB18030.TXT with the data file
gb-18030-2000.xml (retrieved from
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/data/trunk/charset/data/xml/ )
in which these subranges have been deleted from the simple lookup entries.

Per bug #12845 from Arjen Nienhuis.  The conversion code added here is
based on his proposed patch, though I whacked it around rather heavily.

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
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
