Tom Lane d51924be88 Convert contrib/hstore_plpython to not use direct linking to other modules. 
Previously, on most platforms, we allowed hstore_plpython's references
to hstore and plpython to be unresolved symbols at link time, trusting
the dynamic linker to resolve them when the module is loaded.  This
has a number of problems, the worst being that the dynamic linker
does not know where the references come from and can do nothing but
fail if those other modules haven't been loaded.  We've more or less
gotten away with that for the limited use-case of datatype transform
modules, but even there, it requires some awkward hacks, most recently
commit 83c249200.

Instead, let's not treat these references as linker-resolvable at all,
but use function pointers that are manually filled in by the module's
_PG_init function.  There are few enough contact points that this
doesn't seem unmaintainable, at least for these use-cases.  (Note that
the same technique wouldn't work at all for decoupling from libpython
itself, but fortunately that's just a standard shared library and can
be linked to normally.)

This is an initial patch that just converts hstore_plpython.  If the
buildfarm doesn't find any fatal problems, I'll work on the other
transform modules soon.

Tom Lane, per an idea of Andres Freund's.

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/.
