Peter Eisentraut 74618e2b82 Another round of those unportable config/build changes :-/
* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
  bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
  useful is left as an exercise.

* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
  all the other libraries are checked for.

* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.

* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
  Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
  anymore.

* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.

* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.

* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
  separately.

* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.

* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
  don't add it on in Makefile.global.

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

... and in completely unrelated news:

* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
  save the environment as well.

Statistical aggregate functions for PostgreSQL.

This module provides some aggregate functions for statistical 
mathematics. A new datatype holding two double precision 
floating point values is required by them. 

The aggregates are:

average(float8)         average value computed by

                                   n
                                  ___
                        _    1    \
                        x = ---    >  x
                             n    /__  i
                                  i=1


variance(float8         variance computed by

                                    n
                                   ___
                         2    1    \         _ 2
                        s  = ---    >  (x  - x) 
                             n-1   /__   i
                                   i=1



stddev(float8)          standard deviation computed by

                                 _____
                                /  2 
                        s =    /  s
